5.00 out of 5
It is fact that developing a very basic IE Add-in/Plug-in in the early stages of any bodies programming career is always a difficult task as he or she needs to get familiar with some of the VC++ libraries which includes some of the difficult libraries like Active Template Library (ATL).  This IE Addin video tutorials was created just to reduce that learning curve. I hope the accompanying video and source code will guide you in working with IE Addin creation and will reduce the time to learn the development of IE Addons. If you have any questions, please do post in the comments section of this article.
