Outlook instability question for managed controls on OL homepages tanutatu[ at ]hotmail.com 8/8/2006 1:01:15 PM Hi, We are planning to develop an Outlook add-in for Ol 2003 and above, using VSTO. We need to host a managed user control in the home page of a folder.Something similar to "Hosting Managed Controls in Outlook Folder Home Pages" section of the following link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnbda/html/OtlkCustInEntApp.asp But the above link has the following note : "The approach described in this section might present problems when multiple add-ins are loaded into one instance of Outlook because it requires that components of the solution load into the default application domain. Another add-in that also loads components into the default application domain could conflict with your add-in and cause Outlook instability. For this reason it is not recommended that you use this approach for desktops that have multiple managed add-ins installed in Outlook." We want to be able to show our own custom views in OL using webview and we do need to co-exist with other add-ins as well ! Can we go ahead witht the above approach inspite of the above mentioned problem.Is there a workaround ...? Thanks in advance! Regards TT
