A few things:
1. I have a pretty generic Settings class which uses XML Serialization which can be re-used for any plugin
2. I'm using the "InPlaceActivateHack"
3. Demonstrates how to create your plug-in using the designer (the default plugin.cs class will just need to derive from your UserControl)
4. Custom digital images need to be placed: PluginPath+@"\Images\0.jpg" (0 to 9).jpg
5. Of course it is all C#, I don't plan on doing any in VB.NET
6. Comes will all the goop for the installer project as well (COM Registration and actual project installer)
