Visio Addon security

[DGR]

Hello:

We are developing a Visio addon using VB.net and .Net framework. Once the
EXE is done, we will deploy this as a addon in Visio 2007. Pl let me know how
to avoid the ''Enable Macro" question each time the EXE is called in Visio.
Would PublishContent help ? Pl help with sample code. Thanks in advance.

I believe the proper way to do this is to buy a code-signing
certificate. The cost of this is from a few tens to hundreds of
dollars per year depending upon the provider.
I use http://www.instantssl.com/code-signing/

Thank you for the response.

I did look at the InstaSSL. I am a small developer (but can afford to buy
the digitial certificate though !!!), and don't have any D n B records to
show that the CA requires for validating my request. Any thoughts on how to
handle this.

My company DnB is so out of date it's untrue!
They accepted my domain name registration, UK company registration
certificate and VAT certificate + a utility bill showing the address.
