We have a situation where we will have two VSTO Outlook add-ins which both start off with some common shared code, but the shared code will probably diverge over time. Ideally, we'd like to restructure the add-ins to factor out the common code into a separate shared dll, but for non-technical reasons this is not an option right now. What...
Hi The situation: In Outlook I get a message from a server. The content of the message needs to be put into an Access db. But, there may not exist another message with the same date. So, I need to look into a db if there is already a message with the same date and time. If there exists one, then it needs to be replaced and otherwise th...

I've written this little MS Outlook 2003 VSTO Add-In using C# and Visual Studio 2008. It is meant to check each Mail Item being sent for the word "attach" in the body and if found, then check the number of attachments. If that number is zero, then ask the user if they really mean to send the message. It's supposed to work like the Gmail ...
How can we add a web page or a Windows Forms to the Outlook mail so that when I send a mail to a person he/she should be able to enter the data in the controls on the mail form? The user should also have the ability to save the data directly from the mail, instead of opening my web or a Windows application and update the data. ...

So I've got this context menu working out except that the event behind the actual selection of the menu item seems to fire multiple times.

Below is my code on how I...
