Default Outlook 2003 and 2007 AddIn

All:

Env: Windows XP SP2, VS 2005, VS for Office (most recent), Outlook
2007

I would like to implement an add-in that works in both OL 2003 and
2007. Is this possible, or do I need to build a version for 2003 and a
version for 2007?

(Assume that I am not using anything specific to 2007, e.g., the
ribbon).

Thanks,
John

Just reference and develop with the Outlook 2003 PIA, the code will run with
no problems in Outlook 2007.

MS officially supports Outlook 2003 COM addins running on Outlook 2007. Look
at the information from the Outlook team on their blogs.

I searched "site:blogs.msdn.com VSTO Outlook 2003 support 2007" and did not
get any posts which indicate that it is supported.
As I do some COM programming where I need to version correctly when
producing new releases, I know how easy it is to break something. So with
the extra layer of PIAs and VSTO (which also needs correct versioning) on
top of the COM type libraries I am a bit uneasy to believe that everything
"just works" :-)

It works. Ask Ryan Gregg on his blog site. You don't get ribbon support, but
even VSTO addins using VSTO 2005 SE with the Outlook 2003 PIA's does work
with Outlook 2007.

Hi guys.

Please look at the following example:
http://www.add-in-express.com/projec...k2003-2007.zip

It shows on how you can develop VSTO add-in that supports Outlook 2003
and the Ribbon UI in Outlook 2007.
The add-in doesn't require PIAs for Outlook 2007. It uses PIAs for
Outlook 2003 only.
