For those that want some skellie code:

[NUnitAddinAttribute(Type = ExtensionType.Core,
Name = "Database Addin",
Description = "Writes test results to the database")]
public class MyExtension :IAddin, EventListener
{
//some private attributes to hold important data

//you must provide the Install method
    public bool Install(IExtensionHost host)
    {
        //I also built my connection string in here
        IExtensionPoint listeners = host.GetExtensionPoint("EventListeners");
        if (listeners == null)
             return false;

        listeners.Install(this);
        return true;
    }

//you must also provide all the event handlers, 
//but they don't have to actually do anything if they are not used.
//e.g.

    public void TestStarted(NUnit.Core.TestName testName)
    {
        //This saved the start time of the test
        _start =  DateTime.Now;
    }

    public void TestFinished(NUnit.Core.TestResult result)
    {
        //LogTest connected to the databse and executed a proc to 
        //insert the log, was quite simple
        LogTest((result.Message == null? "" : result.Message),
            result.ResultState,
            result.Name,
            _start,
            DateTime.Now);
    }

    public void TestOutput(NUnit.Core.TestOutput testOutput)
    {
         //this is one of the unused event handlers, it remains empty.
    }
    //etc..

}
