Pretty cool. On the other hand the most miserable time in my career was developing a plugin for Excel. It just went from one disaster to the next.

Yeah, VSTO is a tricky animal. I've had quite a few mysterious issues over the last few years while building this plugin. In my case though, since I'm hosting a WPF user interface in a COM application in a WinForms host, talking to native libraries it wasn't entirely unexpected:)

We're doing the same. I feel like punching myself in the face some days.

"WPF user interface in a COM application in a WinForms host"

That's close to what we had. It was probably the first and only time that a project got me close to breaking down and crying :-)
