I have a project in which I have divided the code into several layers (MVVM Architecture). The User Controls are present in the View layer.
When I add a new task pane to the TaskPanes collection of the Addin Module and try to add user control to the task pane via "ControlProgId" property. The designer does not list the ProgId of the User Control.
Any help on this ? |

Hello Kristian,
What Visual Studio version are you using?
A workaround is to fill that property in code. The ProgId of a custom task pane is the type name of the UserControl.

I am using Visual Studio 2015 Update 3.
I have tried your workaround doing this...
var adxCustomTaskPaneCollection = this.TaskPanes;
if (adxCustomTaskPaneCollection != null && adxCustomTaskPaneCollection.Count > 0)
{
adxCustomTaskPaneCollection[0].ControlProgID = typeof(TestsUserControl).ToString();
}
and it threw the following exception as soon as I opened the document.
Detailed technical information follows:

Hello Kristian,
It looks like the constructor of your UserControl fires an exception.

I have created a sample application. How can I share that with you, so that you could give me a bit more information on what exactly is the problem here. I can't find an unhandled exception in the code.
I have tried switching on all the exceptions from the exceptions window and it still did not show any exceptions. |

Please find the support email address in {Add-in Express installation folder}\readme.txt. And make sure your email contains a link to this topic.

Kristian,
I used the ProgId attribute that you added to the TestUserControl class: I've selected the project's COM Visible check box as well as the Register For Com Interop check box and built the project. This creates registry entries required for the Task Pane to be available for the add-in and host application.
I've commented out the code line you invoke in AddinInitialize; the type name of the TestUserControl isn't equal to the value of the ProgId attribute.
The last step is to specify the value of the ProgId attribute in the constructor of the add-in module
Now register the add-in; this works for me.
Note that you can use another approach. You can create a task pane (UserControl) in the add-in project like you would do with a simple add-in. Then you can use the regular .NET way to put an instance of the TestUserControl control on top of the user control instance that Office creates. This approach doesn't require that the View assembly is COM-visible and TestUserControl is registered for COM interop.

I have done that and the User control is registered successfully in the test project, but when I try to do that in my main project. It throws an exception when I open any word document.

Hello Kristian,
Would the same occur if you comment out the constructor of your UserControl and class-level initializers?

Yes. I have commented the constructor of the User Control and then run after building and the exception is still thrown... |
