Debugging Outlook 2003 Add-in Using VS2005 Standard

[David Mullins]

I am really new to developing add-ins for Office products. All I need to know
is how to debug an add-in in VS2005. How do I set up the Project Properties
on the Debug tab? I created the add-in project using the add-in wizard
provided with VS. Thanks for any help.

If it is a new project, it probably defaults to the Debug settings. Check
that the Configuration drop-down says 'Debug'. If not change it, set any
breakpoints you want in your code and click start Debugging from the Debug
menu. You should make sure that Outlook is not open before you do this.
Outlook should then open and your add-in function to the first breakpoint.
