Hello, friends of codeproject. I want to develop addons for IE but don't wonder which way is best for me. As results of googling, I can know there is one way to use Addin-Express(ADX) but it's not free. Is there anyone who can teach me? Also, the addon has to be developed in Visual Studio environment. Detailed information will be appreciated.
Thanks for your consideration. Thanks, again!
