.NET Shared Addin for Visio Questions

[Ken Hanson]

Hello,

I have created a .NET Shared Addin for Visio following the examples in the
Tutorial found on Microsoft's site "Lesson 1: Visio COM Add-in Creation in
Visual Basic .NET". After following the instructions religously I fire up
visio and my messagebox fires up to let me know that my addin connected,
this is good. However, unlike the Tutorial addin my addin does not showup
in the COM Addin list.

I have looked at every solution/project setting between the tutorial and my
addin and everything looks good. The only thing that I can figure is that
there is something special about the .snk file that they are using in the
tutorial that differs from mine. I created mine using sn -k myadin.snk.

Does anyone know why my addin that appears to run does not show up in the
visio com addin list?

The second question is I cannot figure out how to debug my .net code for the
addin. Neither the tutorial or my addin will debug. I have set the startup
app for debugging to the visio.exe, any suggestions?

- Ken

Hi, Ken: Can you try using the revised tutorial in the Visio 2003 SDK that
just released? We've updated it for Visio 2003 and it might solve your
problem. If not, please post again.
