	BeginInit	Infrastructure. (Inherited from AddInBase.)
	CreateRibbonExtensibilityObject	Returns an object that implements the Microsoft.Office.Core.IRibbonExtensibility interface. (Inherited from AddInBase.)
	CreateRibbonObjects	Returns an array of IRibbonExtension objects to the CreateRibbonExtensibilityObject method. The objects represent the Ribbons to display at run time. (Inherited from AddInBase.)
	Dispose	Releases the resources used by the AddInBase. (Inherited from AddInBase.)
	EndInit	Infrastructure. (Inherited from AddInBase.)
	Equals	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	FinishInitialization	Infrastructure. (Inherited from AddInBase.)
	GetFormRegions()	Infrastructure.
	GetFormRegions(Explorer, Type)	Infrastructure.
	GetFormRegions(Inspector, Type)	Infrastructure.
	GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetHostItem<T>	Infrastructure. (Inherited from AddInBase.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	Initialize	Infrastructure. (Inherited from AddInBase.)
	InitializeDataBindings	Infrastructure. (Inherited from AddInBase.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	OnShutdown	Infrastructure. (Inherited from AddInBase.)
	OnStartup	Infrastructure. (Inherited from AddInBase.)
	RequestComAddInAutomationService	Returns an object in your add-in that can be used by other solutions. (Inherited from AddInBase.)
	RequestService	Returns an object that extends a feature in a Microsoft Office application. (Inherited from AddInBase.)
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

Events

	Name	Description
	BindingContextChanged	Infrastructure. (Inherited from AddInBase.)
	Disposed	Infrastructure. (Inherited from AddInBase.)
	FormRegionFactoryResolve	Occurs when the add-in loads, and when a form region name that is specified in the registry does not match the name of any form regions defined in the add-in.
	Shutdown	Occurs when the add-in is about to be unloaded. (Inherited from AddInBase.)
	Startup	Occurs when the add-in is loaded, after all the initialization code in the assembly has run. (Inherited from AddInBase.)

Remarks

The OutlookAddInBase class provides functionality for Outlook add-ins that you create by using the Office Development tools in Visual Studio. The OutlookAddInBase class extends AddInBase class by providing methods that you can use to access form regions in the project. For more information, see Programming Application-Level Add-Ins.

Usage

This type is used only in Office projects that target the .NET Framework 4. The assembly that defines this type is not part of the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime. You must deploy this assembly with your solution. For more information, see Assemblies in the Visual Studio Tools for Office Runtime.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
