Creating a simple add-in for e.g. MS Outlook… ?

[d00ape]

I’m about to create some kind of connection between one of my Applications to Outlook, to make the user of my app to use “stuff” in Outlook.

I think I’ve figured out that creating a add-in would bee one solution or… ?
I’m a C++ programmer and almost never programmed VB. Do I really have to learn it. (VB to me sounds so simple and boring…)

Anyway, if creating an add-in is the best solution – where do I start. I can’t really find any articles good for me.

All tips are welcomed – Thanks
