text: 73 After developing a few Firefox & Chrome extensions, I've decided to try and expand my skill-set by developing an Internet Explorer extension in C#. I went into it thinking it wouldn't be too bad.

  3 ugh... I can only imagine how bad that is
  1 IMHO IE 9 is orders of magnitude better than the previous versions. (Not that I'll leave Chrome for IE of course... not yet anyway.)
  1 @Alex: what sort of things do you envision implementing in IE, so that we can start digging in the right general direction?
  1 @Alex, take a look at Crossrider. It will make your life much easier.

  1 Wow! You are awesome! Thank you so much! This will give me something to work off of.
  2 Hi, I did exactly what is described in the answer. The button is appearing. The exec funtion is exectued. However, SetSite and GetSite functions are never called. I wanna be able to know the URL of the page I am on. It's failing to call these methods to initialize the browser.. Please help
  same for me as @mustafabar stated. pls help!
  1 I tried to do this on IE9 and:
  1. If your project path has spaces: instead of $(TargetDir)$(TargetFileName) use "$(TargetDir)$(TargetFileName)"
  2. If you use Visual Studio 2010 Express you probably (I do) don't see the Start External Program option in Debug tab - I simply run IE and navigate to the provided URL
  3. It seems not to work on IE9 - I can open the form (Highlighter options) but I don't know how to make it highlight the text
  3 "IE10 on x64 Windows 8 will not load your add-on when starting unless you will build with "Any CPU" architecture and register using both 32 and 64 bit RegAsm.exe." was an edit by someone that got rejected.
  4 C# 4.0 might be better in this regard, as the COM Interop is much improved.
  @Robert: Ah, cool! Thanks! :)
  1 @Robert @Mehrdad: Not really. It is not the COM interop that is icky (in this respect), it is developing and registering a COM module, which the new C# 4.0 features don't help with.
