Hi there
I have looked at some of all the posts on wpf in this forum and it looks like there are some pros and cons for using WPF in Outlook.
For instance, I can see that drag and drop can give some troubles and also context menus.
Would you advise me to choose another approach than wpf?
I am going to build a database with Telerik gridview in wpf that I will host in Outlook 2007 - 2010.

With kind regards from Kenneth

Hi Kenneth,

I would recommend using System.Windows.Forms controls instead. However, you can use WPF too if you aware of the difficulties. Please read more about this in the http://www.add-in-express.com/creating-addins-blog/2010/07/20/windows-presentation-foundation/ article on our technical blog.
