Default C# or C++ Addin

Hi

We've been developing Outlook components for several years. These include
Exchange client extensions, COM Add-ins and Service Providers, all written
in C++. In line with Microsoft our client extensions have virtually
disappeared, and most code is now in the COM Add-in; but with having to
support Outlook 2007, is now the time to move over to C#?

Looking at Outlook 2007 and all of the new features (in particular Ribbon
Bar and Form Regions) it seems that most (if not all) examples are provided
in C# (or VB.net, which I'm not considering). My experimenting with C# tell
me it is quick and easy, but what happens if I have to dive into MAPI from
my new C# code (as was often the case in earlier version of our COM Addin).

Any thoughts, experiences are much appreaciated.

Alan.
