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)
