O.P. Sharing and packaging my messenger addin
Hi all,

I wrote a plug in for messenger using IMessenger interface , and all Messenger events are handled in the Invoke() function.
now the thing is that my plug in is an .exe file.. so when I was testing it I was manually running it. but now I want to share this plugin with other people and I want to make it easy for the user.. i.e the user won't have to bother running the pluggin by himself..
should I convert my .exe into a DLL or is there another way to make the plugin run with MSN? I'm sure a lot of people faced this issue..

Thnx

Just simply use a dll instead of exe [Image: msn_wink.gif].

WLM Addins only support .net languages so a .com dll won't work.
