Outlook Add-In tutorial?

Question

Does anyone know of a good example for getting started with Outlook add-ins using C#?

Answer 1

There are two ways to create such an add-in in VS 2008:

1. Managed Add-in (File > New Project > Office > Outlook 2007 Add-in)
2. Shared Add-in (File > New Project > Other Project Types > EXtensibility > Shared Add-in)

For Managed Add-in:

• Getting Started (Office Development in Visual Studio)

An example of a Shared Add-in:

• Creating Custom Task Panes as COM Add-Ins

For comparison:

• Visual Studio Add-ins Versus Shared Add-ins
• Shared Add-in vs. VSTO Add-in: What's the difference between/how can I tell if I'm developing?
