Developing IE Extensions

View products that this article applies to.
Microsoft Professional Advisory Services is a support option that provides short-term, proactive, consultative support beyond break-fix product maintenance needs. This includes working with the same technician for assistance with issues like product migration, code review, or new program development and is a remote, phone-based support option. This service is typically used for shorter engagements, and is designed for developers and IT professionals who do not require the traditional onsite consulting or sustained account management services that are available from other Microsoft support options.

For additional information on Microsoft Advisory Services, including on how to engage, refer to this Microsoft web page:

Microsoft Advisory Services Engagement Scenario - Developing IE Extensions

This Advisory Services scenario is designed to assist customers in providing guidance on developing an IE extension(within support boundary) including Browser Helper Object (BHO), IE Toolbars, Menu Extensions, Binary Behaviors, Asynchronous Pluggable Protocol Handler, custom Namespace Handler, custom Mime Filter, Download Manager, and Custom Security Manager. This includes doing a code review of a customer’s IE extension application, creating small sample code, and providing sample code snippet when applicable. This service does not include writing an entire application for the customer or developing any sample code of great complexities.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
