Creating an Outlook Add-in Project

For more information about how to create an add-in project, see How to: Create Office Projects in Visual Studio. For more information about the project templates, see Office Project Templates Overview.

Outlook Add-in Programming Model

When you create an Outlook add-in project, Visual Studio generates a class, called ThisAddIn, which is the foundation of your solution. This class provides a starting point for writing your code, and it also exposes the object model of Outlook to your add-in.

For more information about the ThisAddIn class and other features you can use in an add-in, see Programming Application-Level Add-Ins.

Automating Outlook by Using the Outlook Object Model

The Outlook object model exposes many types that you can use to automate Outlook. These types enable you to write code to accomplish common tasks:
