MS Office Forum / Outlook / Programming Add-Ins / July 2003.Net Outlook Addin Not Connecting
I've created a outlook addin Using Visiual Basic .Net. I used the Extensibility Wizard to create the project, and it created the initial file and Setup project.. The Problem is that I can't get outlook to connect to this addin. I've tried reinstalling the addin then reinstalling it, that doesn't help, I've tried to manually add the Addin in to outlook, but I keep getting "<Filename> is not a vaild Office Add-in" message. I've tried recreating the Addin serveral times but I keep having the Same results. Any Sugestions? You cannot connect a managed code Add-in dll using traditional methods. Please take a look at the following MSDN article: Building Outlook Add-ins with Visual Basic .NET http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnout2k2/html/o dc_oladdinvbnet.asp The following resource page might also help: http://www.microeye.com/resources/res_outlookvsnet.htm  SignatureRandy Byrne, MVP - Outlook http://www.microeye.com Building Applications with Microsoft Outlook 2002 (MSPress - July 2001) Building Applications with Microsoft Outlook 2000 (MSPress) http://www.microeye.com/books Micro Eye ZipOut http://www.microeye.com/zipout > I've created a outlook addin Using Visiual Basic .Net.

Well I can't use those because I have to make this Addin work with both Outlook 2000 and outlook Xp, and the Addin must work on both Win2k and XP and the interops say you need Windows XP.. Unless someone knows if those interops will work on Office 2000 and Windows 2000?? I am looking at the other information that you sent as well that may help some. > You cannot connect a managed code Add-in dll using traditional methods. > Please take a look at the following MSDN article: > > Building Outlook Add-ins with Visual Basic .NET http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnout2k2/ht ml/odc_oladdinvbnet.asp > The following resource page might also help: > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > the Addin serveral times but I keep having the Same results.

This has me really stumped, this shouldn't be this hard, I've got to be missing something Stupid but I've started the Addin over more times then I can count, following the instructions on any page that gives instructions but that darn thing still won't work.. > I'm still having no luck with this...

Compile your Add-in using VB6 on an OL2000 machine. Make calls through COM Interop to your .NET assembly. A good reference article is the following: 817248 - HOW TO: Call Visual Basic .NET Assembly from Visual Basic 6.0 and Call Visual Basic COM Component from Visual Basic .NET: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q817248 SignatureRandy Byrne, MVP - Outlook http://www.microeye.com Building Applications with Microsoft Outlook 2002 (MSPress - July 2001) Building Applications with Microsoft Outlook 2000 (MSPress) http://www.microeye.com/books Micro Eye ZipOut http://www.microeye.com/zipout > I'm still having no luck with this...
