Developing Visual Studio .NET Macros and Add-Ins Review by Eric W. Engler

Simplifies the black art of Macros and Addins

This book has the best coverage of macros I've seen anywhere, but it also does a pretty good job of explaining the basics of addins. Although his addin samples are in [...] I had no trouble translating them to C# (but macros have to use [...] by their nature). This doesn't cover the new COM-less style addins in VS2005 (this book is older than VS2005), but it remains the best intro book on VS addins, and the overall best book on macros. It has a few small errors, but when you consider how few books there are on this subject you simply have to take notice. More advanced readers will likely want "Working with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005", by Craig Skibo, Marc Young, and Brian Johnson.
