I have been doing Outlook addin developing with VB 6 for a while and am
considering making the move to VB.Net.

I had a look at MicroEye but would appreciate some answers to the following.

I have a few questions that will hopefully get me started in the right
direction.

1. Do we still need Explorer Wrap and Inspector Wrap classes in dotNet.

2. If we use Vb.Net 2003 (or the newer VB 2005), will the same addin work
for Outlook 2002 and 2003.

3. Will the same addin work for Outlook 2000. Is it even possible to develop
Outlook 2000 addins using VB.Net.

4. When developing with VB6, I had to do my development on a computer setup
with Outlook 2000 so that the addin would work with Outlook 2000 (and
later). Is this also true with dotNet i.e. do I need to develop on a
computer with the oldest version of Outlook that I need to support (It would
be great to develop on Outlook 2003 and still have the compiled code run on
Outlook 2002 - I realise that I will not be able to use any Outlook 2003
commands that are not supported in Outlook 2002.)

5. Is there code for a sample addin that can be used as a starting point?

6. Any other hints, tips etc to do this right.

Thanks in advance.
