Thanks Sam,

I'll keep an eye on Add-in Express.

An article by Andrew Whitechapel got me started with this part (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163292.aspx).

Hope that helps.

Hello Sam,

thanks for the post, this will certainly help some people who run into this problem !

On a side note, could you share with us why Addin-Express was picked for this project instead of VSTO ?

best greetings,
