How can I create and install an outlook plugin as a dll?
When I install Dmitry's Outlook Spy or any other third party outlook plugin,
it installs as a dll file and shows as "PluginName.dll" in the plugin section of Outlook. But when I am creating my own outlook plugin and installing it, it is showing as "MyPlugin.manifest.dll." How can I create and install an outlook plugin as a cool dll? Why is the "manifest" file extension coming inbetween? PS: I am using visual studio.net's own installer to create the installation files.

How can I create and install an outlook plugin as a dll?
What version of VS, Outlook and Windows? Shared addin, VSTO or unmanaged
code? Language used? You need to provide enough information to at least allow us to guess at an answer. If this is managed code have you looked at the deployment articles for managed code addins? -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Professional Programming Outlook 2007.

How can I create and install an outlook plugin as a dll?
Hi Ken,
Thanks for the answer. Sorry for not giving the details. I am using Visual Studio 2005, VSTO and Microsoft Windows XP is my OS. I actually prepared the installation files form one quite extensive article in MSDN which was very helpful. I do not know which one you are referring to. What is shared adding by the way. Would be grateful if you can provide some information on that. Regards, Aninda "Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]" wrote: What version of VS, Outlook and Windows? Shared addin, VSTO or unmanaged code?

How can I create and install an outlook plugin as a dll?
The article I was referring to is this one:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb332051.aspx A shared addin directly uses the Extensibility interfaces to connect the addin to Outlook. A VSTO addin hides that from you and provides you with Startup() and Shutdown() events instead, A VSTO addin also handles various other things for you, including loading the addin with shimming to provide an isolated AppDomain for the addin so any problems with that addin or with other addins are isolated from each other. A shared addin will share an AppDomain with any other managed code addins unless it's shimmed (using the COM Shim Wizard or a custom shimming action). With a shared addin you have to shim it to provide AppDomain isolation. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Professional Programming Outlook 2007.
