Developing a PowerPoint add-in with VS.NET 2004

[Nick]

Hi there,

Is it just me or is developing an Add-in for PowerPoint flakey boyonde
believe. I have a project working for a few compiles then it just stops,
even the OnConnection method doesnt get called, only resolve (AFAIK) is to
start a new project and copy the code over, so I have no idea what's
happening here!?!?!

I thought simply making a new GUID might work but it doesnt. All I am
trying to do is make a command bar, with 1 button and code to respond to the
button. Unfortunately development on this keeps going back a whole load of
steps every time this *bug* occurs.

Any ideas on how to resolve this and get the add-in working again? Also
one thing I also need to do is the get a reference to the existing command
button so I can apply the code behind it, but the following didn't work.

cCBrRhapzodeBar = cAOtApplication.CommandBars(BARTITLE)
If (cCBrRhapzodeBar Is Nothing) Then
//Create bar and 1 button
Else
cCBBCompileButton = cCBrRhapzodeBar.Controls.Item(0)
cbrRhapzodeBar.Visible = True
End If

I have the object declared "WithEvents". Any help on this would be most
appreciated!

Okay further looks into the registry show that the plugin is not being
registered anymore. Any reason why VS.NET would just stop doing this?
