Default COM Add in or ECE?

Hi ,
*Can anybody tell me what are the advantages of COM add-in over ECE?

Which of the above given approach is preferrable in which conditions?

Thanks in advance.


COM add-ins are definitely better-supported these days, and there's a
lot more literature about and tools for developing them. I also
believe Microsoft has said that support for ECE's in Outlook may be
discontinued in the near future. If you're starting from scratch and
don't need anything that can only be done via ECE (and I'm not sure
there are features only available via ECE), I'd definitely go with a
COM add-in.
