Well, this is really a VB question, but this discussion group seems to be as

close as I can get. Please redirect me if there is a better place to ask this

question.

I'm trying to set up an Outlook addin using 2010 beta. A skeleton of the

code is shown below.

When I start Outlook, the addin shows up in the list of active addin. I get

the "Mail Checker addin created" and "Mail Checker addin deleted" messages at

the appropriate times. But I never seem to enter any of the IDTExtensibility2

subroutines. Equivalently, Outlook never seems to actually connect to my

addin.

Am I missing some message handler hook-up or something. I haven't seen

anything else in any of the MSDN examples. Are addins in Outlook 2010 beta

fully operational? I will be happy to try any and all suggestions.

Thanks

It looks to me like your addin is a mixture of a shared addin and a VSTO

addin. A VSTO addin provides the Startup() and Shutdown() events, or at

least it does if the new disconnection registry setting is turned on. A

shared addin uses extensibility. You need to make up your mind as to which

you are trying to create, you can't mix and match.

You also need to post all the relevant information, such as if you are

running Outlook 2010 in 32-bit or 64-bit mode, which will make a huge

difference.
