I am a new user of Add-In Express. I have considerable experience in visual studio C++ Console Applications and some experience with visual basic and c# Windows applications using Windows Forms.

What I am trying do do is create an Excel Add in using the Command Bar example you have in the getting started section of your documentation.

It works fine in visual basic. When I try it in C#, the screens are exactly the same (which is good). I inserted the following code like I did in visual basic.

private void adxCommandBarButton1_click(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabelLinkClickedEventArgs e)
{
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("i've done this in c#");
}

It builds with no errors and I can regester it no problem. In Excel, the Command bar appears, but when I press the bar, nothing happens. In visual basic, the message comes up no problem, but in C#, using the same steps and the c# syntax for the messagebox.show command, it does not.

I tried to debug the C# application, but cannot find Start Program anywhere in the Project Options Window.

Hi Louis.

Actually, the event handler for the ADX Command Bar button should have the following signature:
private void adxCommandBarButton1_Click(object sender)
{
}
Why do you use the System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabelLinkClickedEventArgs class in the button event handler?

I tried to debug the C# application, but cannot find Start Program anywhere in the Project Options Window.

You just need to set Microsoft Excel as a start program and run the project.
