On this topic Ken, can you recommend a book or resource on add-ins for
OL2010? This looks as though it is going to be a common problem.....

Cheers

As far as I know neither of the Outlook 2007 books that deal with addins
(Sue's doesn't, mine and Randy's do) are being updated for Outlook 2010.
Sue's book isn't being updated at all either though.

There are a lot of documents and such out there for 2010 on the Office
Developer Web site and on MSDN, that's what we've been using in the beta
testing. That's all we've had.

There was just some information released by Misha Shneerson of the VSTO team
on his blog about getting the COM shims to work in 64-bit mode, I've been
working with Misha on that, and there will be additional information
released soon by the VSTO team on 64-bit deployments for shared addins. I've
been discussing with them what we'll need so people know what to do.

Andrew Whitechapel's blog has some real good stuff on using ComImport's for
handling ribbon interfaces that applies nicely to Office 2010. Andrew was
also on the VSTO team and was a co-author with Misha of the COM shim
wizards.

Andrew has moved on to the XBox team, but I've been using his ribbon
interface information on ComImports to get my managed code addins to handle
everything from 2003 to 2010 when developed on 2003 setups.

Other than that it's just been a lot of trial and error, and then making
more changes as things change during the beta process.

Yeah, the 64-bit stuff is all new and the documentation and help on it so
far has been minimal to abysmal. Information is starting to trickle out, but
some things are still fuzzy. One thing I need to spend a lot of time with is
that almost all of my code makes heavy use of Win32 API calls and I need to
get my head around that for 64-bit addins.
