I successfully created an Add-in set called "ExcelAddIn2.MyFunctions"; and
added it.


This was following the book "Visual Studio Tools for Office Using C# with
Excel, Word, Outlook, and InfoPath" by Eric Carter & Eric Lippert (sometimes
called Eric2). See especially pp. 88-89 in the 2006 Pearson Education
edition.


However, when I created a new project, e.g. "ExcelAddIn3.TheseFunctions",

I use the Automation function, scroll down the list, and find it.

I check the appropriate box in the "Add-Ins" dialog box (or list box or
whatever form it is).


However, when I use insert-function - Or Select a category and scroll
down, it is absent.



I also have found the same true of add-ins I've downloaded from the web.
For these, I store in a known sub-directory, then use Tools-AddIns
("Browse" button), find the appropriate file in the subdirectory.



Once again, I check the appropriate box in the "Add-Ins" dialog box, but
similary when I go to insert-function - Or Select a category and scroll
down, it also is absent.



I've tried removing the "ExcelAddIn2.MyFunctions" -- thankfully it comes
back when I restore it ; I've tried re-booting and so forth.

Does anyonoe have any idea what the problem is?



Also, how does one remove "Add-Ins available" from the aformentioned Add-Ins
dialog box (obtained by using Tools-- AddIns)?



NOTE: I am using VSTO, Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, and Microsoft Office
(Proffesional Edition 2003) including the Microsoft Excel 2003.



Does anyone know of a link (URL) that would help?



Thread discussion: To do anything at all with VSTO, one needs to be able to
use an add-in in the appropriate office program, e.g. Excel. However, if
this thread belongs elsewhere please let me know where I should put it.

In case it matters, I'm using

(using XP Professional 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Build 2600)



This is on a dell Desktop computer that is an X86-based PC (GenuineIntel).





The exact MS Office version is 11.8142.8132 SP2



and VS is

MS Visual Studio 2008 Version 9.0.21022.8 RTM with Micorosft .NET Framework
Version 3.5 (c.2007)



There is also C# 2008 and Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Office 2008.

This is a re-post of a question I asked before, but I am still awaiting an
answer.

Thanks in advance, (-:


Sincerely,
