Microsoft.Office.Tools

[Guest]

Hi,
I want to set my pane tasks CustomTaskPane table in outlook from shared com
add-in vs.net 2003 c# & outlook 2003

Microsoft.Office.Tools --> I don't have this!!!
I have only:
Microsoft.Office.Interop
Microsoft.Office.Core

But I'm getting this error:
The type or namespace name 'Tools' does not exist in the class or namespace
'Microsoft.Office'

And, do you have a link with example for that in c#?
Thank's.

Outlook 2003 itself doesn't support custom task panes. You can build CTPs only for Word as the email editor.

Microsoft.Office.Tools is a class exposed by Visual Studio Tools for Office 2005. It is not available to a shared addin.

Thank you for your replay,
So, I can't exchange the tasks panel with my tasks panel..with CTPs ?
If I can..Do you have an example/link?
I'm using vs.net 2003, so I can't use vsto? it's only for vs 2005?

No, that's not possible, even with VSTO. Not only can you not replace an existing pane, CTPs are not available for Outlook 2003 at all.
