i just followed this below steps and i checked every addin location. however it's not working and they said

"The program '[1764] Revit.exe' has exited with code 0 (0x0)."

plz help me ... 😞

In order to be able to debug using Visual Studio, we have to make some manual edits to the project files by implementing the following steps

In the Solution Explorer window, right Click Lab1PlaceGroup and select Properties.
In the Properties window, Go to Debug option and choose “Start external program”.
Browse for “Revit.exe” file and normally the file will be present in this path(C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Revit 201x\Program\Revit.exe).

(Edit the filepath for Revit.exe if you’ve installed it in a non-default location).

Welcome to the Revit API!

I assume you are using Visual Studio Express?

You should say so. You should also tell us what version you are using.

I would suggest searching YouTube for "launching Revit from visual studio".

Several recordings exist, showing you how to achieve that.

You might also want to work through the Revit API getting started material before anything else:

Best regards,
