Writing Outlook Addins in C#.Net
Ok, so the title of this post is a blatant Google magnet attempt. But honestly, that's what I've been doing today and its been the most fun I've had coding in a while.
I'm converting an old VB6 COM addin for Outlook versions prior to 2007 so that it does indeed work with 2007. Its being rewritten in C# and due to some clever interop work (not my cleverness, I gleaned information from this blog post by Patrick Schmid) I don't even need to hack my way around Outlook's security model with the Redemption Library.
Once its done, I'm toying with the idea of writing more addins for Outlook 2007 that I think I'll find useful (and hopefully other people will too)

I can't really share the full code, since it remains the property of my client, but if you need advice on a particular area of developing an Outlook addin, I can give you some advice

I have built a addin in VB.net 2008 for Outlook 2003. it works great no problems.
My company now need some people to have Outlook 2007 and i have tried to get the same add-in to work in Outlook 2007 with no luck.
i can install it and it set to inactive in the trust center and i click go and select the addin but no matter what i do it stays inactive and will not run.
Thanks
