Choice of programming tool for Outlook programming
Hi,
We would soon be working on a project that involves extending Outlook 2003 and above We would be majorly working on Outlook Add-ins We still have to decide which programming tool to use for the same We are looking at C++, VBA, and VSTO (C#) Can any one please give some pointers or the advantages/disadvantages these tools have so as to help us settle on one of them. Thanks in advance, TT

Choice of programming tool for Outlook programming
VBA is not suitable if you intend to distribute your code.
VSTO is a nice solution if you are committed to using a .NET language, only plan to support Outlook 2003 and higher and your Outlook 2003 support only includes Outlook from the Office Professional series or higher. Other versions of Outlook 2003 won't work with VSTO, nor will older versions of Outlook. As far as language, your choice depending on how you prefer to work. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm wrote in message oups.com...

Thanks for reply
One more query: Would the suggestions you made hold good for using the Add-in to connect to Exchange Server?

As long as you are connecting to Exchange using the Outlook object model or
other client side API then there is no difference whether it's a PST file or Exchange. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm wrote in message ups.com...
