As Jan pointed out you have your AddinAttribute as
[AddIn(MdlTaskID = "AssemblyMgr", KeyinTree = "AssemblyDataManager.Commands.xml")]
and your file name is
Commands.XML
Rename your Commands.XML file to Commands.xml.
Also as pointed out by Jan although the V8i SDK is not required, there is an added benefit to using the SDK. You can validate the Command.xml For example, using your code with only modified project settings and using
$(MSV8ISDKShortPath)mdl\bin\UstnXOM.exe ValidateAddIn "$(TargetPath)"
as part of the Post-Build event, you would have received the following error during build...

========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ========== of the Post-Build event you would get the following build result
I reworked the Commands.xml file to the following...
<?xmlversion="1.0"encoding="utf-8" ?>
<KeyinTreexmlns="www.bentley.com/.../KeyinTree.xsd">

</KeyinHandlers>
</KeyinTree>
However, in your project you did not have KeyinHandlers mapped to a static method in a .cs file. In this case, you would get the following errors - if you used the SDK using a similar Post Build as defined above.

If you did not use the SDK as shown, but the Command.xml is well-formed as noted in the above error, but is not mapped correctly you receive an exception similar to the following...
I can map the items in the Commands.xml to methods in a class as shown...
namespace AssemblyDataManager
{
///<summary>
/// Class used for running key-ins. The key-ins XML file commands.xml
/// provides the class name and the method names.
///</summary>
internalclassKeyinCommands
{
publicstaticvoid ItemAttach(string unparsed)
{
//insert code here
}
publicstaticvoid ItemEdit(string unparsed)
{
//insert code here
}
publicstaticvoid AssemblyAttach(string unparsed)
{
//insert code here
}
publicstaticvoid AssemblyEdit(string unparsed)
{
//insert code here
}
publicstaticvoid AssemblyRemove(string unparsed)
{
//insert code here
}
}
}
And now rebuilding with the SDK you should get the following...
1>------ Rebuild All started: Project: AssemblyDataManager, Configuration: Debug x86 ------
