Integration with 3rd-party controls
 

I am new to Outlook programming. I have a question about creating 2007
add-ins with 3rd-party controls such as Infragistics editable windows
datagrid in Outlook form (custom form. I guess)? All the information I read
so far, it seems all the add-ins pretty much is focus on interacting Outlook
built-in objects. But what I am looking for is to use Outlook as some sort
of host environment for an existing Clickonce application which interacts
with external data sources, such as SQL Server or web services. Any need to
tailor the existing application to work with the Outlook programming model is
acceptable.

Thanks.

Is it possible to do so? If so, what are the options? If anyone could point
me to some sample code or posts, that would be highly appreciated.

You can add grid controls to custom forms and to forms in addins. It would
be entirely up to you to populate the grid in code.

You can look at www.outlookcode.com for tons of samples and code forums, and
you can just look at the posts in this group.
