Hiding a macro from debugging, etc.

These same attributes can be added into the IL code to hide the Macro1 method from debugging and from intellisense and object browser:

Start with the original IL code for Macro1:

.method public hidebysig instance void  Macro1() cil managed

{

  // Code size       2 (0x2)

  .maxstack  8

  IL_0000:  nop

  IL_0001:  ret

} // end of method AppAddIn::Macro1

Open the IL file in any text editor, and then add the following ".custom" lines:

.method public hidebysig instance void  Macro1() cil managed

{

  .custom instance void [mscorlib]System.Diagnostics.DebuggerNonUserCodeAttribute::.ctor() = ( 01 00 00 00 )

  .custom instance void [System]System.ComponentModel.EditorBrowsableAttribute::.ctor(valuetype [System]System.ComponentModel.EditorBrowsableState) = ( 01 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 )

  // Code size       2 (0x2)

  .maxstack  8

  IL_0000:  nop

  IL_0001:  ret

} // end of method AppAddIn::Macro11

These '.custom' attributes added to the IL code will hide the Macro1 method from debugging, from intellisense and from object browser.
