[AccessD] Add-In Express 2009 for MS Office and .NET

Gustav,

Thank you for your opinion.
OK, I will talk to Add-In Express owners within a week.

BTW, I have just tested setup of my sample MS Access add-in made using
Add-In Express:

- WinXP SP2 (with .NET Framework 3.5) and MS Office/Access 2007 - it worked
OK;
- Windows 2003 (with .NET Framework 3.0) and MS Office/Access 2003 - it
worked OK;

Both are "clean" PCs without any Add-In Express setups run before.

On MS Access 2003 my sample add-in uses CommandBars to activate its
functionality.
On MS Access 2007 my sample add-in uses Ribbon to activate its
functionality.

Linking add-in's functions to CommandBars or Ribbon is currently done in
design mode in VS2008 - just a few clicks, and code lines.

Setup is the same in both cases.

I'd try to make publicly available setup of Add-In with some more useful
functionality - "Eat Bloat" prototype(?) - next week.

Would you be interested to test its setup and functionality?
Anybody else?

Next step would be to implement and to test "Click-Once" setup.

Next step would be to design and to implement pluggable architecture... 

Thank you.

Hi Shamil

It could be. What they are looking for is probably published and serious
examples of applications for the tool as this probably is aimed at
enterprise developers which - always - are looking for ways to be more
productive, can utilize any hour spared, and - for these reasons - do have
the budget to buy such tools. One indication for this is that they offer the
tool via ComponentSource which always, in my view, has been a high priced -
if not over priced - outlet.

So maybe they will like your idea. They wouldn't loose much turnover as many
of us wouldn't buy the tool anyway (I wouldn't except if a very specific
project was ordered).
Thus, forward your proposal as the good idea it is, open for discussion.
CodePlex is a site with a good reputation among their potential customers.

So if, e.g., I will develop a sample MS Access Developer Assistant Add-in,
publish it on my site for free download, and I will make this add-in
"armored" with pluggable architecture, and then I describe this architecture
in an Access Developer Assistant Pluggable Architecture CodePlex project
then everybody who will make a plug-in to this add-in, publish it within
CodePlex (or on their own site/blog), and describe it in an article/note
within that CodePlex project/own site/blog - all they can get a free license
for one of Add-in Express software products? Correct?
