how to develop internet explorer add-on

Question

Can we create add-on for IE? If yes where can i find required resources/docs?

Answer 1

Some references,

• At MSDN blogs -- Writing IE AddOns,
• The Business of Software recent discussion

A New IE Add-on Site -- reference.

The site has two objectives: to make it easier for users to find valuable add-ons and to promote our partners who develop add-ons.

You can have your add-on included by submitting it through the Internet Explorer Add-on site and you no longer have to be a member of the Microsoft Partner program to be included.

You can use Microsoft's SpicIE which wraps all the com features of IE, so you can simply develop your own extensions (toolbars, context menu items, etc) using managed code (such as c#, vb.net)
