VSTO 2005 supports only Outlook 2003 and 2007.

An Outlook add-in doesn't place buttons on an OVC control or add any functionality to a web page. It can place buttons on the Outlook Explorer and Inspector windows and can expose public methods that other client-side applications can call. .

Thank you very much Sue for your quick answer.
I am now trying to imagine to add a plugin to outlook who could make the
synching job. Would it be possible to bring the addin buttons in ovc, on user
webpage? What could fullfill my needs...

Again, if this is possible, is there any recommended environment? Vsto
2005....?


Thank you

No, it can't. All the OVC does (in all versions from 2000 to 2007) is display what the user can already see in their Outlook folders. It has no synchronization functionality.

Hello,

I am working on a web-hosted software, and I m searching a way to share
information between my software and outlook.
Could someone tell me if outlook view control (embedded in my webpage) can
help me to exchange or synchronise my software database with outlook (after
user's agreement, of course).

If so, would it be possible to indicate me the best environment to develop
such a solution?

One last thing: would the ovc functionnality be the same for all outlook
versions (from 2000 to 2007)?

Thank you very much for any help or reference,
