Create the new form with Outlook's form designer, then include code in your project to publish the form using the FormDescription.PublishForm method. (See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/distributeforms.htm)

To make a form the default for a folder, use CDO 1.21 (not officially supported in .NET) or Redemption to set the folder's PR_DEF_POST_MSGCLASS (0x36E5001E) and PR_DEF_POST_DISPLAYNAME (0x36E6001E) properties. If you're not familiar with MAPI property tags, see http://www.cdolive.com/cdo10.htm

I really want to create a new folder in outlook and have items in this
folder use the new messageclass and new inspector form.
Thanks

I want to create a new custom form for use within my C# outlook add-in.
Do I need to create the form myself in Outlook and then somehow
distribute with my add-in?
How do I go about this process?
Thanks so much
