MS Office Forum / Outlook / Programming Forms / May 2004.NET vs VB6 for COM Addin
I am looking for info on the benefits (or drawbacks) of developing a COM Add-in in VB.NET vs. VB6. I currently have many thousands of lines of VB6 code in an existing Addin that I am (eventually) going to port to VB.NET, but now an starting a new Add-in and want to know if it is worth the hassle maintain two dev environments to develop this one in .NET Comments.... I can't think of any reason to port an existing COM add-in to .NET. I'd stick with VB6 since you already have a substantial investment there.

Not strictly a COM Add-in but in VB6 you can create ActiveX controls which can you use on an Outlook form. The controls you create in .NET can NOT be hosted on an Outlook form.
