Hi all,

I want to send http request from my plugin. Means if I click on the
outlook plugin button then one request will be send to the particular
URL for eg.(http://www.covelix.com/action.aspx).
Plugin will wait for response and according to the resulted response it
will take some action.
I dont have any idea abt this.
Is it possible??
Please help me..
Thanks and regards
Vinayakc
 
Yes it's possible. Once you have an add-in, you can implement anything you
want, like any other desktop application.
I've already developed such thing... don't own the code though.
If you know how to create toolbar button for your plugin, catch it being
clicked, and know how to implement http requests, it's obvious.. otherwise
lookup information regarding these subjects seperately. The http stuff isn't
really plugin specific.

Hi Lisa,

Thank you.
I wanted to implement update service for my Add-in. I thought that i
will implement it by making http request from client side to my server
to look for any updates available. But I just came to know that we can
achieve this functionality through installshield itself.
What u think, which will be the better option?
Thanks...
Regards
Vinayakc
