Adding Two button

[Kannan]

Hi,
I am trying to created Outloook Add-in Com in outlook using C#.
I have seen this URL for developing this sample

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=302901

When I executed this program it created new custom button called "My Custom
Button" in the Outlook menu bar.

But when I tried to create one more button called "Forward Mail" (code is
very similar to "My custom button" code) but it is not displaying in
outlook.
Anybody knows that what I am doing wrong.

Sorry I am new to C# and outlook.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Adding Two button

Hi Kannan,

It will help immensly if you could show us your code, or at least the
difference between your code and the msdn code
