HELP: Developing an Excel Add-in using VB.NET

[fjlaga]

I'm developing an add-in for Excel using VB.NET. My current specific
problem is how to load images in my command bar buttons. The
CommandBarButton has a .Picture property of type IPictureDisp. How do
I create one of these in VB.NET?

In general, does anyone have recommendations of books for developing
Office Add-Ins using VB.NET?

See http://mztools.com/articles/2005/MZ007.htm for details how to do it.
There's ImageToPictureDispConverter class that does what you need.

In general, does anyone have recommendations of books for developing
Office Add-Ins using VB.NET?
