Does anyone has already created a com add-in for mappoint 2002 in C#/managed C++?

If so, can you provide me some sample code?
I didn't found any usefull samples on the net (yet).

Thanks in advance.

Hi Niko,

I did it once in ordinary C++ (Visual studio .NET)

Create a project and add a COM object to this project. (for example CAddIn)

Add the implementation for the _IDTExtensibility2 interface to the COM-object.

In CAddIn::OnConnection(...) add a command to the MapPoint interface (using MapPoint::AddCommand(...) method), defining the method you wish to be called when the user clicks the newly create menu option.

There is one important step: registery settings for the AddIn: you have to let MapPoint know to use your AddIn. Under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\MapPoint\AddIns, add an entry for your AddIn.
You must specify 4 entrys under this key:

- CommandLineSafe
- Description
- FriendlyName
- LoadBehavior

Hope this helps..
