VB6 Outlook Addin - Ho do I package resource files with the dll?

[jamies111]

Hi,

I am writing an addin for Outlook 2007 using VB6, and was wondering how to ensure that a file is packaged with the addin. Is anything in the "Resources" directory included in an addin when compiled as a dll?

Does App.Path reference the application (Outlook) directory, or a "virtual directory" of the addin, including the contents of the Resources directory for the addin (when developing)? It is from a separate class module to the Connect module.

Also, can I include a separate assembly dll as a reference file and reference within the project (relative to addin, not file system of my workstation)?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

If you want to include a file with the addin, then you would have to use an installer to find and edit the Outlook Directory.

As you are creating an Addin/DLL the app.path variable will reference the calling application's disk location. (AFAIK)

See point 1 for answer to Q3.
