Hey I'm using C#, Visual Studio 2005 Professional. I installed VSTO 2005 SE
and its runtime from Microsoft Downloads.

I created a Outlook add-in and in it I added a User Control.

Its code is.

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using Outlook = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;


namespace OutlookAddIn1
{
public partial class UserControl1 : UserControl, Outlook.PropertyPage
{
const int captionDispID = -518;
bool isDirty = false;


public UserControl1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

void Outlook.PropertyPage.Apply()
{
MessageBox.Show("The user clicked the Apply button");
}

bool Outlook.PropertyPage.Dirty
{
get
{
return isDirty;
}
}

void Outlook.PropertyPage.GetPageInfo(ref string helpFile, ref int
helpContext)
{
}

[DispId(captionDispID)]
public string PageCaption
{
get
{
return "Test Page";
}
}
}
}



Now in the ThisAddIn.cs file (main add in file)

the code is

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Applications.Runtime;
using Outlook = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook;

namespace OutlookAddin1
{
public partial class ThisApplication
{ Outlook.NameSpace nameSpace;

private void ThisApplication_Startup(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.OptionsPageAdd += new
Outlook.ApplicationEvents_11_OptionsPagesAddEventH andler(
ThisApplication_OptionsPagesAdd);

nameSpace = this.Session;
nameSpace.OptionsPagesAdd += new
Outlook.NameSpaceEvents_OptionsPagesAddEventHandle r(
NameSpace_OptionsPagesAdd);
}

private void ThisApplication_Shutdown(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}

void ThisApplication_OptionsPagesAdd(Outlook.PropertyPa ges pages)
{
pages.Add(new UserControl1(), "");
}

void NameSpace_OptionsPagesAdd(Outlook.PropertyPages pages,
Outlook.MAPIFolder folder)
{
pages.Add(new UserControl1(), "");
}

#region VSTO Designer generated code
private void InternalStartup()
{
this.Startup += new EventHandler(ThisApplication_Startup);
this.Shutdown += new EventHandler(ThisApplication_Shutdown);
}
#endregion
}
}




The code is from a book and I get the following errors

What am I doing wrong?

That's not code for a VSTO 2005 SE addin, it's code for a VSTO 2005 addin.

You have either the wrong version of VSTO installed or are using addin code
for the earlier version.

ThisApplication_Startup() is from VSTO 2005, in VSTO 2005 SE it would be
ThisAddin_Startup().
