Thank you for the link to the VSTO Stocks project, much appreciated! This is still work in progress, but I plan on adding more features and comments/documentation over time, to illustrate some of the cool stuff that can be done using .NET and Office together – and I’ll gladly take questions or comments!

Hi Dawie,

You can add the child folders to the mother folders’ Folders collection. Do this in the AddinModule_AddinStartupComplete event :

‘ Root Folder
Dim motherFolder As New ADXOLSolutionFolder()
motherFolder.FolderName = “Mother”
motherFolder.FolderType = ADXOLSolutionFolderType.Notes

‘ Child Folders
Dim childFolder1 As New ADXOLSolutionFolder()
childFolder1.FolderName = “Child1″
childFolder1.FolderType = ADXOLSolutionFolderType.Notes

Dim childFolder2 As New ADXOLSolutionFolder()
childFolder2.FolderName = “Child2″
childFolder2.FolderType = ADXOLSolutionFolderType.Notes

‘ Add Child Folders to MotherFolder
motherFolder.Folders.Add(childFolder1)
motherFolder.Folders.Add(childFolder2)

‘ Add Mother Folder to Solutions Module
AdxolSolutionModule1.Folders.Add(motherFolder)

Hope this helps!

Thanks Pieter,
I’m createing the “Mother” folder with the designer. Then I want to be able to create the subfolders dynamically.
My code doesn’t break and looks cool, but it doesn’t show my subfolder :-(
I’m doing this:

Dim newFolder As AddinExpress.VSTO.ADXOLSolutionFolder = New AddinExpress.VSTO.ADXOLSolutionFolder()
newFolder.FolderName = defaultStore & “\Mother\Northwind”
newFolder.FolderType = AddinExpress.VSTO.ADXOLSolutionFolderType.Notes
AdxolSolutionFolder1.Folders.Add(newFolder)

Dim AdxOlFormsCollectionItem3 As AddinExpress.OL.ADXOlFormsCollectionItem
AdxOlFormsCollectionItem3 = New AddinExpress.OL.ADXOlFormsCollectionItem(Me.components)

AdxOlFormsCollectionItem3.ExplorerLayout = AddinExpress.OL.ADXOlExplorerLayout.WebViewPane
AdxOlFormsCollectionItem3.FolderName = defaultStore & “\Mother\Northwind”
AdxOlFormsCollectionItem3.FormClassName = “MyVSTOAddin1.ADXOlForm1″
AdxOlFormsCollectionItem3.UseOfficeThemeForBackground = True

Marshal.ReleaseComObject([nameSpace])

Hi Dawie,

I have one here somewhere :) Although, it was created using Add-in Express 2010 for Office and .net.
I’ll e-mail it to you.

Pieter,

I’m using “Add-in Express 2010 for Microsoft Office and VSTO, Standard”
adxnet-v606-b4621-vsto-std

Will this work on it or do I have to upgrade?

Kind regards
Dawie

Hi Mulugheta,

So far, I have not faced any issues with converting existing COM add-ins to .NET v4.0. If you have any difficulties, please let me know the details.
