custom ribbon not appearing in outlook when when running a build in vs

Question

I followed this tutorial, but when I build then run my project in visual studio a ribbon tab does not appear. I'm using outlook 2010 if that helps.

Answer 1

Turns out you need to set the ribbontype property to Microsoft.Outlook.Explorer for it to show up. This is not the default value for that field, and no msdn tutorial seems to tell you to make that change.

I used this link on MSDN to fix the error. Simply says that you need to set the RibbonType property for which occurrences you want the ribbon visible/usable.
