The Fiddler Extension Updater extension supports any IFiddlerExtension (or IAutoTamper as it derives from IFiddlerExtension) loaded in Fiddler. The code sample below shows the 2 required methods. The remaining methods are optional; you don’t even need to have them in your code if you don’t want to use them.

The Extension Updater accesses these methods via reflection. Thus, you don’t need to add a dependency to your project or build against any DLLs.
