Tech-Ed 06 Demo Code - Writing Outlook Add-ins using Visual Studio Tools for Office 2005

As promised, here is the source code for the demos I did during my breakout session OFC331 - Creating and Using Outlook Add-ins in Visual Studio Tools for OFfice 2005.  There are two demos and each one shows different aspects of Outlook customization.  The demos are written in VB.NET.

AWBrandedEmail - This demo provides the ability to send email using custom HTML templates for branding.   It shows the following VSTO/Outlook features:

• Creating Custom CommandBars and CommandBarButtons
• Working with Outlook Events
• Working with Outlook Built-in Items
• Debugging Outlook Code
• Embedding Resources into Outlook Add-ins 

AWHumanResources - This demo is a bit more complex and shows how to integrate Windows Forms controls into Outlook Add-ins.  It highlights the following VSTO/Outlook features:

• Extending the functionality of built-in items
• Working with Folders
• Replacing built-in Inspectors with a Custom Windows Form
• * Adding Tabs to the Options Property Page

      * I ran out of time during the live demo and wasn't able to show this but I have added the code to this source for readers to use as an example.

Download the Outlook Add-Ins Demo Code  As always, your comments or questions are welcome.  I will be adding more advanced customization samples soon, so watch this space.
