Introduction
This example shows how it is possible to add or remove components for a view through configuration, here to add a component to the plug-in path “Mainarea” of the view named “Test”:

<episerver.shell>
<viewManager>
<views>
<add name="Test">
<settings>
<add name="AddTestComponent" transformationType="Add"
definitionName="EPiServer.Shell.UI.Test.Fakes.FakeComponentDefinition"
plugInPath="ShouldNotContainComponent" />
</settings>
</add>
</views>
</viewManager>
</episerver.shell>
definitionName usually maps against the full name of the class including namespace.
