To do this, the user has to enter in the sharepoint site name into our plugin everytime that they want to publish. How do I persist this information so that the user only has to enter the information once? Ideally, I'd ...

When creating an VSTO Outlook AddIn there are some restrictions which are a bit annoying. For example if you start Outlook due to a click on a mail link, no addins are loaded due to security reasons. Is there a way to override this behaviour? Maybe an alternate way of creating an Addin without using VSTO? If I remember correct there are...

Hi, I'm trying to develop an Excel 2003 Add-in using Visual Studio 2008 (SP1).I didn't add any code expect for the boilerplate code added by Visual Studio. When I run the application in VS it loads up Excel, but the add-in itself does not work. The "COM Add-Ins" window list the add-in, but it's unchecked. The "Load Behavior" reads as "N...

Hi All, My environment is VS2005 C# targetting Excel 2003. I gave myself a small dose of over confidence with the installer of this add-in when I saw that an .msi project was created just for me :) within the solution. Needless to say, this has been the trickiest part of the whole project and I am completely stuck on how to deploy and...

I have a custom task pane I've made in VSTO for Outlook 2007, but it needs a fair amount of screen real estate to be functional. I'd like to just take over the place of the Reading Pane, as it won't really be needed when this addon is active. It's also a really great spot since this addon relies on drag-and-drop from mail folders to this...
I understand that Outlook has set items, i.e. Mail, Task, Calendar, Notes, etcetera. How can you create a custom Item that Outlook will recognize as the others? I know that when you add the Business Contact Manager it creates Items like "Opportunities" Can you override an Item, or inherit an Item and alter/add properties and methods? ...
