Add-in Express Regions for Microsoft Outlook and VSTO is an extension of Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO) 2010, 2012, 2013 and 2015 that allows you to customize Outlook views and Outlook forms with any .NET controls.

Regions for your existing VSTO Outlook projects
This solution effectively allows you to continue designing your Outlook solutions using Visual Studio Tools for Office. In other words, even if you have an Outlook Add-in project developed with VSTO, you can install Add-in Express Regions and immediately start taking advantage of powerful Advanced Outlook View and Form Regions technology.

Outlook view and form regions - key features
Advanced Regions provide developers several unique advantages over the traditional Outlook Form Regions available in VSTO projects:

You can add regions to practically all Outlook windows
You can create form regions for Inspector windows and view regions for Outlook Explorer windows
Your regions work for all versions of Outlook from 2003 to 2016
Your regions are shared (multiple regions can share the same area with the ability to switch between them)
Your regions can be hidden and minimized
Your regions can be dragged between Outlook panes

Add-in Express helps Outlook developers write their code faster and better - one of our core philosophies. As such, Add-in Express Regions prominently features wizards for quickly creating your regions, associating them with Outlook windows and binding the regions to certain Outlook context.

Add-in Express Regions - basic concepts

Add-in Express Regions for Microsoft Outlook and VSTO is an extension for Visual Studio Tools for Office that allows you to embed .NET forms into Outlook Explorer and Inspector windows. With Add-in Express Regions, you can customize several Outlook panes, namely:

Navigation pane
Reading pane (cover it, or add a region to all four sides)
Folder view pane (cover it, or add a region to all four sides)
To-Do bar
Web View (aka a Folder home page; covers the entire area between the Navigation pane and To-Do bar)
Inspector windows such as e-mail, task and appointment windows.

Add-in Express Regions supports creating regions for Outlook forms (form regions) as well as for Outlook views (view regions) in Outlook 2016, 2013, 2010, 2007 and 2003.

Your regions are shared

A sample region hosts five forms

When you create and design your regions based on Add-in Express Regions, you really operate on forms, Outlook-specific descendants of Windows.Forms.Form. Generated by a special wizard, which is part of Add-in Express Regions, only these forms can be embedded into regions to extend the Outlook UI.

Add-in Express shares all regions between all forms created by all loaded add-ins that are based on the Add-in Express technology. Since one Outlook region can contain several forms, the provided region header allows users to navigate between all forms hosted by the region. By default, the region header displays a list of hosted forms and Forward / Backward buttons that activate the next and prior forms. In addition, the region can display a Close button that closes the active form.
