Add-in Express for Office .NET implements everything required by the COM add-in, smart tag and Excel RTD server technologies, adds to IDE several wizards, installs technology-specific components, and organizes projects through the special RAD modules. All this makes COM add-in development much faster and easier.

Add-in Express customers say:

From Google Groups: Add-in Express - amazing!

This morning, while talking with a prospect, they told me that a competing vendor told them they would add a feature that would let them import emails into their software in a fairly unique way. My response? Of COURSE we can do that too! What I didn't tell them was that I didn't know jack or squat about Outlook add-ins.

Enter Add-in Express. Less than four hours later, I had a fully integrated add-in which did exactly what the client wanted. Did I mention that I didn't require any support or assistance, and did everything based on the manual and demos from the website? No? Well, that's a pretty big deal for me. :-) So, if you need to integrate with Outlook, or with MS Office in general, check out this product. It's amazing.
