// Find a specific add-in.

// Construct the path to the add-in.
string addInFilePath = pipeRoot + @"\AddIns\P3AddIn2\P3AddIn2.dll";

// The fourth parameter, addinTypeName, takes the full name
// of the type qualified by its namespace. Same as AddInToken.AddInFullName.
Collection<AddInToken> tokenColl = AddInStore.FindAddIn(typeof(Calculator),
    pipeRoot, addInFilePath, "CalcAddIns.P3AddIn2");
Console.WriteLine("Found {0}", tokenColl[0].Name);
