14-Nov-05: Add-in Express .NET, Version 2.2 for Visual Studio 2005 Release

Add-in Express .NET 2.2 for Visual Studio 2005 has no changes compared to Add-in Express .NET 2.2 for Visual Studio 2003. Please note, currently you cannot run both versions, for VS 2005 and VS 2003, on one PC. We will be able to provide the parallel work of both versions as soon as Microsoft has fixed several critical bugs in Visual Studio 2005 preventing us from doing it right now.

12-Jun-05: Add-in Express .NET, Version 2.2 Release

In addition to bugs fixing we added or altered:

• Support of Microsoft Publisher 2003. Now you can develop COM add-ins for Publisher.
• Support of Borland Delphi 2005. Add-in Express .NET can be used in Delphi 2005 for .NET.
• Unmanaged shims. You can generate a key pair to sign your projects with strong name and create unmanaged shims for COM Add-ins, Smart Tags and RTD Servers. All this is available when you create a project based on Add-in Express.
• Event handler components. They implement all events of the Application object of host applications. For example, you can handle the NewMail event with a couple of clicks. All event handler components are available via the "Add Event" command of the add-in module.
• Excel Automation Add-ins. With this feature you can embed new functions for MS Excel. You can create an Excel automation module with the "Add New Item" dialog box of the add-in project.
• Multi module COM add-ins. We added this to allow you to organize the code of your add-in in a simpler way provided you have more than one button in the add-in :-) You can create an additional module with the "Add New Item" dialog box of the add-in project.
• Multi add-in projects. Now you can include several add-ins in one COM Add-in assembly. You can add a new COM add-in to your project with the "Add New Item" dialog box of the add-in project.
• Finally the most IMPORTANT. We've got rid of automatic project registration. Earlier COM add-ins were registered automatically when you compiled them. Because of this you changes might sometimes not to be reflected. Now you can avoid this problem with two new items in the Tools menu, "Register ADX Project" and "Unregister ADX Project".
