ProtocolDefinition customProtocol = 
    new ProtocolDefinition(myInstance, "MyCustomProtocol");
customProtocol.ClassName = "MyNamespace.MyProtocolClass";
customProtocol.AssemblyName = @"C:\NS\Full\MyCustomComponents.dll";
myInstance.ProtocolDefinitions.Add(customProtocol);
Dim customProtocol As ProtocolDefinition = _
    New ProtocolDefinition(myInstance, "MyCustomProtocol")
customProtocol.ClassName = "MyNamespace.MyProtocolClass"
customProtocol.AssemblyName = _
    "C:\NS\Full\MyCustomComponents.dll"
myInstance.ProtocolDefinitions.Add(customProtocol)
