I would like to build a browser extension for IE 7/8. I would like to do it using .NET. Do you know of any resources or tutorials that I could reference to do this? I haven't found much.
Thanks!
JP,
One of the main issues that makes IE extensions hard to develop is the need to develop with C, or .NET.
On the other side, FF and Chrome use (to some extent) JS, which is easier, and has a much lower entrance barrier (How many C "web developers" do you know?).
This is one of the issues / obstacle Crossrider is here to solve. You can create your first IE plugin within minutes. It will save you a lot of research and development time, and you can write your code with Javascript.
On top of that, if you plan this plugin/extension to also work for browsers other than IE then you can develop a cross browser extension once, using an extensive unified API, and we will make it work for Chrome and Firefox.
Chrome and Firefox each one gets a a native extension file (CRX and XPI respectively) while IE a special EXE engine to run your app.

The same question that was asked two years later has the necessary answer. Everyone should refer to this question now: How to get started with developing Internet Explorer extensions?
