Polling a IEntryPoint for it's activated status

Is there a way to Poll an IEntryPoint for it's activated status.

I am looking for a more elegant solution than wrapping a try/catch like this:

internal bool IsPluginLoaded(IEntryPoint ep)

{

 /

/UGLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

try

AddInController controller =  AddInController.GetAddInController(ep);

return true;

}

 c

atch (ArgumentException)

{

return false;

}

You'll want to keep a list of activated add-ins, and consider adding the activation status as an additional property to this list. 

Thanks. I was on the way to creating my own addininfo class. It looks like that is the way to go.
