Hi there,

I am planning on learning how to write add-ins for VS 2005.  But since it's
not out yet (tii 7th Nov) am wondering how can I get head start?  Any
resources specifically for VS 2005?

I have Craig Skibo's Inside Vs.Net 2003 book nut am not sure what things
have changed between VS 2003  VS 2005 versions?  Is there a msn article
expalining the differences?

Here is table of contentes for Craig Skibo's book, can any one shortlist
this (keeping the chapters which are still valid for Vs 2005.  Thanks for any
help.
