Don’t worry about it, Winters. Sounds like the people who replied don’t know what they’re talking about. I’ve read some online forums just now, and it sounds like the addon feature in WLM 2009 does not work. Sorry to all those who asked about it. I don’t know why they disabled this feature.

I asked WLM for information about it and they said that they didn’t know how to do it and they redirected me to iTunes, but you have to call them and why would they know how you use the add-on in a program from other designers. So sorry for this failure.

mmm the register file was still in WLM but it doesn’t show addons / addins, but i just send a question to WLM help, I let you know what the solution is. Until then.

I didn’t try it at the new WLM because I updated it 2 days ago
but I’m gonna try now and post another comment.

I have no clue whether it works with WLM 2009. But I will say that if you can enable add-ons (ie. can get to the addon option enabled in WLM), then it should work.

The save location of the project does not matter until you try to load up the .dll file in MSN.

You’ll want to add a reference to System.Drawing if you use that section of the code, though I’m not sure what your first error’s cause would be. Make sure your code that specifies the arguments for systime is correct (that’s what the error seems to be coming from)

i tried with the previous code and made a new 1 the new 1 worked better, i only have 3 errors:
Error 1 Method ‘Public Sub OnTimedEvent()’ does not have the same signature as delegate ‘Delegate Sub ElapsedEventHandler(sender As Object, e As System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs)’.

Error 2 Reference required to assembly ‘System.Drawing, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a’ containing the type ‘System.Drawing.Image’. Add one to your project.

Error 3 ‘Drawing’ is not a member of ‘System’.

if you don’t know it, I can send the project if you just mail me with your personal address (I have few hours until I go to bed) @ GMT + 1

No problem. The Project Name and Class Name both need to be MessengerAddin. Go to Project==> properties and change the root namespace to be blank, and the assembly name to be MessengerAddin. It looks like the line "Implements Microsoft.Messenger.IMessengerAddIn.Initialize" should be alongside the line above it (there should not be a line break there) Try this updated code.
