I was curious if anyone had any information or links to information that can help me understand and learn how to create VB.Net Add-Ins?

What I would like to do is create a few add ins, mainly two come to mind at the moment. My first project I would like to create is a add in that can watch what is being typed in the IDE, and if a certain "Phrase" that is predefined (either hardcoded or via database), is found after hitting the "SpaceBar", that is replaces that phrase with the predefined text. In essence, I want to create a auto-comment creating add-in. For Example...

In the IDE I type: header[Press SpaceBar]

And the Add-In would replace "header" with:

'******************************************
' [Type Header Here]
'******************************************


The second add-in I would like to make is possible an automated process of building and preparing a Application Solution for release. Like automatically building a new EXE, moving the EXE to a certain directory along with any other needed files, etc and prepare all the files for compilation by a 3rd party installation program.
