Yeah, here I am reading a decade-old book on an outdated technology. I have to do some maintenance work on an old Outlook plug-in, so I thought I should read up on VSTO. This book is actually a pretty good intro to the topic. So if you too need to do some work on an old VSTO project, buying a used copy of this book might help you.
