'Usage
Dim instance As HostAdapter

[ComVisibleAttribute(true)]
[ClassInterfaceAttribute(ClassInterfaceType.None)]
[GuidAttribute("A0DB5D80-309E-4D55-920E-FB7ED9CDD7E1")]

public final class HostAdapter implements IVstaHostAdapterInternal, IVstaHostAdapter, IDisposable

Remarks

Access the host adapter through its corresponding interface IVstaHostAdapter, rather than directly through the class.

The host application does not create the HostAdapter object. Instead, Visual Studio Tools for Applications creates the host adapter and gives the host application access to it. 

For more information about how to access a HostAdapter object, see Dynamically Creating and Modifying Host Items and Host Objects in an Add-in Project.
