First: (minor) The "pack:" uri scheme is not available at all. I can w...

It all seems to be information on building custom editors. I would like to receive notifications when the current selected file...
In my C# application, if I wanted to be able to download an "add-in" from our website and store it locally on the user's computer, and then run it (assume it's an assembly DLL or EXE, doesn't matter), I assume I can't store it in a subdirectory of my Program Files folder, and that's not really the right place for it since add-ins are use...

This is a very odd problem I've found. I have written and successsfully deployed a VSTO 3.0 Addin for Excel 2007. The problem is that the Tab for the Ribbon only shows up on NEW instances of Excel; the Tab doesn't display if I first open an already existing workbook. However, if I open a new instance of Excel, then open existing workbook...
