Hi, so I'm writing a VS2008 C# Add-In to automate AspectC++ weaving in C++ projects. I'm generating the C++ source files (now woven with aspects), but I can't figure out how to compile them as part of the pre-build step. Is there a convenient way to specify new source within the IDTExtensibility2, EnvDTE90, or VslangProj90 namespaces? ...
Our media center add-in is shipped as a single DLL which lives in the GAC (mediabrowser.dll), we allow users to write extensions for our add-in by referencing our DLL and accessing the pre-defined extensibility points. On load we search through a plug-in directory, load all the assemblies in the directory, search the assemblies for a t...
Is there a plug-in (or built-in feature) for Visual Studio 2008 to be able to do a quick in-line find in your code? I am unhappy with the find feature (Ctrl+F). I don't like how it pops up in its own window. I think it would be much better if it was more like the Firefox find. (Try Ctrl+F in Firefox). I like how you start typing and it ...

In .net, one can create an AddIn within a new AppDomain. The creation of new AppDomains is nothing new, and one can use an AppDomainSetup class to specify all the startup parameters (such as where to find the app.config) of the newly created AppDomain. However, when activating an AddInToken using a new AddInProcess (which specifies that ...
I need to develop the Outlook Extension capable of extending existing forms with tabs, downloaded from remote server. For example, in the appointment form additional tab should appear.

I'm writing an Outlook COM addin using C++/ATL. I'm getting a rather odd set of errors and results back from Outlook when I call _PostItem::SaveAs. This only occurs in Outlook 2002 (Outlook XP) and only when the _PostItem is an embedded item (an attachment of some other outlook item). If the Post is an HTML type, it fails with E_INVALI...
Been working on a personal add-in for VS 2008 and have been researching automation and control. I see there are lots of examples for adding a .dll reference to the registry so they show in the ".NET" tab in the Add Reference dialog. What I would like to do, however, is add a new tab to the reference dialog with some functionality therei...
Original post: When Outlook is launched, the Add-In is loaded and adds a toolbar with some buttons. toolBar = OutlookApp.ActiveExplorer().CommandBars.Add(MENU_TAG, MsoBarPosition.msoBarTop, false, true); Everything was working fine, but now one user has his Outlook shortcut set to launch Outlook minimized. And then OutlookApp.ActiveE...

I am trying to distribute my Outlook Add-In to the rest of the company. I'm using Visual Studio 2008 Professional and Outlook 2003. In VS I used an installed template for Outlook 2003.

I am looking for an add-in that will duplicate the functionality of the "Windows" Window, but in a NON-Modal, dockable type window. In other words a window with a list of the files open in the IDE, that I can dock next to the Solution explorer or something, and just ...
I have written an Office shared Add-in with C# and .NET 2.0. It uses the same COM Shim for all office apps. Currently, every instance creates its own instance of my class -- they have no knowledge of the fact that the add-in is running on another application. Is it possible to make it so that, say, when the Word add-in launches it can ...
