Visio AddIn with VB Express

tzs
I tried to follow the tutorial in the Visio 2003 SDK which implements an
COM-AddIn for Visio 2003 in VB.Net. I used the VB Express (2005) version. I
could make the Template Wizard work and the MS example code compiles without
errors . My problem: I can't find out how to register the AddIn with Visio.
The method described in SDK-Tutorial docs doesn't work. in VB-Express It
seems to be replaced by a thing called "one click deployment" that only
seems to work for standard windows applications. When I try to add the
resulting dll from the Visio AddIn Manager, I get the message that the dll
is no valid office addin. Trying to register it with regasm seems to install
it in the wrong place in the registry. What can I do?

Can this possibly only be done with a commercial Edition of VB 2005?

You are right; you need the commercial ver$ion to do this.

Hi, I created a COM AddIn for Word that performs the functions that it needs to, but I needed to add the ability for the toolbar created by the COM AddIn to remember it's last position and whether it was docked or not. I added the following code to my "OnConnection" function but it fails with an error, "Run-time exception thrown : System.IO.IOException - Bad file name or number." With applicationObject.CommandBars("SampleToolbar")

Is there a UML modelling tool/addin for VS2k3 that's not Visio? I am hoping to be able to find something like Borland's Together Designer for Visual Studio, but that is done in C#, not java! :> Thanks.

I've been working on an Addin for Outlook in C#. It hasn't been long now, just a couple of days. Suddenly though, running my project in Debug launches Outlook as specified, but no breakpoints are hit in my source code. The Addin isn't being loaded. If I create a new Addin program from scratch, e.g. AddIn1, it loads up fine from Outlook. I archived my existing code, cleared out the registry and recreated a brand new Addin project with...

I would like to dynamically create a Visio diagram from .Net. I tried looking at the Visio SDK, but the samples are extremely convoluted for me to understand. Does someone have an example of creating a basic drawing with two shapes connected? I can then expand that example to include other elements. Also, my plan is for this project to be an ASP.Net website. Is Visio required to be on the web server in order to generate the Visio...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
