Yeah! I just created my first add-in for Word. When I press the button on the toolbar, a form comes up that will do the main interaction with the user. Since it’s WRap, the first thing the user will be presented with (for now) is to choose between Design or Run a report.

A nice feature of VS.NET, that I will miss if I buy Visual C#, is the deployment. The wizard created a setup-project in the solution that will install the add-in. I changed some settings to have it correctly installed on my machine, but I have to create a decent (and conditional) setup later. Installing a Word add-in is of no use when you don’t have Word, now is it? With Delphi I used Inno Setup, perhaps that can be used for C# projects as well.
