Difficulty creating Outlook 2010 Add-In

Question

I am trying to create an Outlook 2010 add-in with Visual Studio and I am having all the problems. Online documentation is very fragmented and often specific to Word or Excel only. Are there any good tutorials online?

Answer 1

Take a look at the contribution of VSTO

• http://jake.ginnivan.net/vsto-ribbon-designer-in-depth
• http://jake.ginnivan.net/vsto-com-interop

And here is the standard MS doco

As for your other questions, you should separate them into different questions so that it is easier to answer
