In VS2008 family, VSTO becomes a past. It is good thing, IMO, considering
how confusing it was with VSTO2003 add-in, VSTO2005 suite, VSTO2005SE
add-in.

No, VS2008 Express does not support Office add-in development (what
VSTO2003/5 does). Not even VS2008 Standard. You need VS2008 Professional or
better.

VS2008 Professional and above include the equivalent of VSTO 2008 and allow
the development of Add-ins for Outlook 2007. Neither VS2008 Standard nor the
Express editions include that ability and I doubt that you could add it from
earlier versions of VSTO.

VSTO 2005 Second Edition together with VS2005 or VSTO 2005 also allow for
the development of Outlook 2007 Add-ins although deployment, especially in
Vista, is much easier with Outlook 2007 Add-ins produced from VS2008
Professional etc. (ClickOnce technology).

See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-gb/vs2008/products/cc149003.aspx for a
comparison of the VS2008 versions.

1. Seeing that VSTO 2008 is not available, does VSTO 2005 work with VS2008?

2. Can VS2008 Express VB work with VSTO?

3. Can VS2008 VB.Net create an Outlook 2007 Add-in?
