Hi,

We are planning to develop an Outlook add-in for Ol 2003 and above,
using VSTO.

We need to host a managed user control in the home page of a
folder.Something similar to
"Hosting Managed Controls in Outlook Folder Home Pages" section of the
following link:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...stInEntApp.asp

But the above link has the following note :
"The approach described in this section might present problems when
multiple add-ins are loaded into one instance of Outlook because it
requires that components of the solution load into the default
application domain. Another add-in that also loads components into the
default application domain could conflict with your add-in and cause
Outlook instability. For this reason it is not recommended that you use
this approach for desktops that have multiple managed add-ins installed
in Outlook."

We want to be able to show our own custom views in OL using webview
and we do need to co-exist with other add-ins as well !

Can we go ahead witht the above approach inspite of the above mentioned
problem.Is there a workaround ...?

Thanks in advance!

Regards
TT

The warning was mentioned for a reason, disregard it at your own risk.

I don't know offhand of any workarounds but you might get more information
in a VSTO group.
