You seem to have written the samples with 'Option Strict' turned off in the IDE - for sure several won't compile for me as I've set Option Strict ON by default in all my projects. <br> <br>What prompted you to choose to do this - apart from it being (stupidly, IMHO) the default setting in VS? As far as I've been able to find in the book, you don't discuss anywhere why you chose this approach, and what the pros and cons of using Option Strict are. <br> <br>My apologies in advance if there IS a discussion of this in the book - I checked the index and skimmed the intro chapters, and didn't find anything. <br> <br>Cheers, <br> <br>Tobekhttp://blogs.msdn.com/eric_carter/archive/2006/04/26/584684.aspx#607683Fri, 26 May 2006 06:02:12 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:607683Joseph GeretzOn page 380, the code sample for the User Control to be hosted in the Outlook property page is missing the following attribute: <br> <br>[ComVisible(true)] <br> <br>Although this attribute is not required for an Extensibility Addin, it is required for a VSTO Addin. Did you actually test the code samples in a VSTO Addin, or were they copied from an Extensibility project? This little omission cost me 4 days of research. <br>http://blogs.msdn.com/eric_carter/archive/2006/04/26/584684.aspx#4795885Fri, 07 Sep 2007 01:39:43 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:4795885Fabulous Adventures In Coding<p>Eric Carter and I are excited to announce that the Visual Basic edition of our book about Visual Studio</p>
