RobotStudio event

Addin for RS 5.x (VB) problem

Since our add-ins for RS 3.2 were written by VB, we plan to use VB.net as the developement tool. I wrote some codes to imitate the C# code. However, I do not see any add-in in RS 5.0. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone could help me fix the bug.
