Hi,
I am creating an add-in for the virtual machine manager that will backup the selected VM(s) on the host.
I've come so far, but my script is not working.
I allways get the error message box.
What am I doing wrong? Is "Host" the right context in this case?

if (contextObjects != null && contextObjects.Count > 0)
{
foreach (var host in contextObjects.OfType<HostContext>())
{
if (host.ComputerState != ComputerState.Responding)
{
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
return false;
}

MessageBox.Show(expDir); //Debug only
if (!expDir.Equals("")) //Aborting the InputBox returns an empty string. In this case we simply skip the add-in code.

}
public void exportVM(VMContext VM, String hostID, String nExpPath)

}
}
}Thank you in advance. :)
