Hi

Could someone please clarify when you should use the Register Project is visual studio for a adx project.

My project has its own installer to register other dll's etc and create registry keys. Every time I chance code I have to rebuild and re-install as the Register Project is visual studio does not force the changes through so when I run outlook I do not see my code changes. I would love to not rebiuld each time I chance code. so my question is what and when is the Register Project is visual studio used for ?

Hi Matt.

Do you mean the 'Register ADX Project' option of the project context menu?
If so, you should use it once to register ADX based add-in in host applications. Then you can just rebuild the project to apply the changes of your code.

Yes the Register ADX Project.

So I only do it once per project which I have done. What I am having trouble with is changing code rebuilding classes and installer then installing. Then running in debug sometimes I am lucky and can debug most of the time I get symbols not loaded and cannot debug. If I rebuild and then re-install it works. any ideas.

Matt, do you uninstall the add-in installer before you run the add-in in the debugger?

Matt, you should uninstall the add-in from the dev PC before you run it in the debugger. Also please check the system registry. Probably you have some old registry entries left in the registry.
