We are developing Addin by using your ?Â?Ð?ìAdd-in Express 2007 for Microsoft .net, Standard?Â?Ð?í.
We have a COM component developed in C#. but we have to develop addin for MS Office by using this Component(DLL).
i am using a example ?Â?Ð?ìMyFirstAddin?Â?Ð?í which is developed in 2003 and try to add reference for that DLL(COM component) which is already developed in C#
But I am getting errors message when i am trying to add reference like that
"A reference to 'C:/Helper.dll' could not be added. this is not a valid assembly or COM component etc"

so if anybody have idea where i am wrong please share with me.

thanks

Hi Bankey.

Are you sure that the Helper.dll is a .NET assembly?
If it is an unmanaged COM component, you can add the dll via the COM tab of the 'Add Reference' dialog.
