[RESOLVED] [2005] VS Tools for Office?

[Aspnot]

I need to do the following with Outlook:
- Check to see if a "Medical Contacts" folder exists (if not, create it)
- Delete all contacts in the Medical Contacts folder
- Export contacts from my SQL Server backend into Outlook

This will potentially be run multiple times per week.

My question is this. Does VS Tools for Office give me a better pathway to Outlook, or should I just use COM?

VSTO is for building solutions that integrate into Office applications, i.e. the user will run the Office app and then have access to your add-in. If that's not what you want then VSTO is not for you.
