    I am coding with VSTO Smarttags in Application-Level Office 2007 Addins.

    I notice that the SmartTagsCollection Interface here has a method to Remove and a method to Dispose.

    When should these be called?

    I have noticed that by the time the ThisAddIn_Shutdown is called the Collection no longer has the smarttag (count of collection is 0) in it and Dispose causes an execption.

    Hi,

    Dispose is inherited from IDisposable.

    >> In an Office Addin must call remove and dispose on the SmartTagCollection before shutdown?<<

    Dispose method is used to Performs application-defined tasks associated with freeing, releasing, or resetting unmanaged resources. Unmanaged resources could not be released by GC, so we should release it explicitly.

    Based on your description, I think the Dispose method had already been called by the Framework before shutting down.
