• Visual Studio Tools for Office Install Outlook Add-in from C# Code....

  Hello, Hopefully someone can help me with this. I'm attempting to install my VSTO Outlook and Word Smart Tag add-ins via a different route. There are a lot of solutions out there that use the included templated set up projects for these add-ins but I'd rather not use those. I want to script this into a win forms exe so my users can install/uninstall at ease these add-ins. The primary benefit is that my software can auto-update itself. I'm ...Show All

• Visual C++ AddString() and InsertString() in CCombobox/CListbox

They run on XP and 2003 Server. I'd like to extend this to .WMA and .AIF files, and I'm starting to think that an easier way of accomplishing this task is to leverage some sort of Windows API. ...Show All
