Today, I constructed the step by step example in KB article 302896, "HOW TO:
Build an Office COM Add-in by using Visual Basic .NET.
No problem doing this and, as expected, the add-in worked with Access,
Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Word.
I then made a minor modification that is Word specific. Code still worked.
Buoyed by my success, I then said, 'nuf is 'nuf and I tried unregistering
using regasm (which I do not yet understand).
I was surprised to find that after using regsam, the add-in still was
working with Excel, but not the other apps I listed supra.
Apparently, the COM Add-ins button does not list .NET add-ins, so it was
difficult to see what was going on.
I likely did not use regasm correctly, but why would only Excel still work
with the add-in?
I then right-clicked on the set up project and was able to re-install the
project.
As a result everything appears to be working.
I do want to unregister the critter as it is only a sample project.
I really do need a "Regasm for dummies" and a ".NET add-ins for dummies".
Are there blurbs at MSDN, or in the KB, that covers these two topics?
I guess that I can also take a look at the Apress book on COM Addins and
Interop.
