The .NET edition also provides full support for Visual Studio 2008, .NET Framework 3.5 and WPF controls. ClickOnce prerequisites and the Excel Worksheet API (XLL) are on board, too. The Add-in Express Loader is modified to support add-ons for Outlook Express and Internet Explorer. Finally, the extensibility kernel of Add-in Express .net is redesigned to give you the possibility to include in your Office add-ins solutions the modules of the two new products - Add-in Express for Outlook Express and Add-in Express for Internet Explorer. So, in the framework of one project and, of course, in one assembly you can get one or several Office add-ins, one Outlook Express plug-in and one Internet Explorer add-on with a common code base.
