Developing Add-in for Office XP: Open Issues

[pavan]

Hi All,

I've been doing add-in development for the past 1 month (in VS.NET 2005
for Office 2003 using PIAs). Things have been going fine though there
were few issues.

Now, an add-in has to developed for Office XP. I tried using the one
that i had developed for Office 2003 and rightly enough it didnt work!
What I wanted to know is that if I take the same code change the PIAs
to that of Office XP and run the code will it work? Are there any
issues which are specific to developing an addin in XP?

Awaiting a reply
TIA
Pavan

Don't use any methods, properties or events that were added in Office 2003.
Or if you do have to use some test for version and use code forks with a
workaround for Office 2002 and a late bound call for Office 2003.
