Outlook scripting in C#?

I开发者_StackOverflow'm using Outlook 2010. Via the Developer ribbon, I see that I'm able to script Outlook using VBA. I'm also aware that you can create Outlook addins through COM that can pretty much have anything as their source language (C# / .NET included).

However, is there any way to actually code extensions to Outlook using built-in Outlook functionality using C#, rather than VBA? If not, are there any plans for Microsoft to allow this in future versions of Outlook?

I'm not sure what you mean by "built in" functionality. Addin can access anything VBA can access AFAIK.

Are you talking about converting the VBA editor to c sharp?
