Building custom Internet Explorer (IE) add-ons with Add-in Express 2010 allows you to create stable, version-neutral browser extensions using Visual Studio 2010 without dealing with the complex IE SDK. Add-in Express handles the low-level COM (Component Object Model) plumbing automatically. This lets you write code in C# or VB.NET using standard Windows Forms controls.
Here is how to create, design, and deploy a custom IE add-on. Start a New Project Open Visual Studio 2010. Click File > New Project. Go to Other Project Types > Extensibility. Select Add-in Express IE Add-on. Complete the project wizard: Choose your programming language (C# or VB.NET).
Select the minimum version of IE you want to support (choosing IE 6 ensures it works across all versions up to IE 11). Choose Generate new to create a strong name key file.
The wizard automatically generates a solution containing two projects: the core add-on project and a setup project for deployment. Understand the IE Module
The center of your project is the IE Module (IEModule.cs or IEModule.vb). Double-click this file to open its visual design surface.
The IE Module acts as a container where you can add, configure, and manage different toolbar components, context menus, and custom browser helper objects (BHOs) via its properties panel.
