Running C# Code through Macro in MS Project

Question

I have some C# code which formats a MS Project file. This code works absolutely fine.

Problem: Now, I want to run the same C# code through a macro script.

Question: How can I execute the C# code through my MS Project macro. So, whenever the user opens an MS Project file, it runs the macro which in turn executes the C# code and formats the concerned file.

I am using Ms Project 2002.

Is this even possible? Please request for any additional information required.

What you want to do use the Visual Studio Toolkit for Office (VSTO) to create an Office plug-in that will be called on application start or project load. You can find a good "getting started" article here.

The sample is in VB.NET but the same principles and object model is available in C#.
