Hi,
I have been learning to run arc commands using C# and have been following this walk through http://edndoc.esri.com/arcobjects/9.1/ArcGISDevHelp/DevelopmentEnvs/DotNet/walkthrough1cs.htm[^] . When they are talking about implementing the ICommand interface, they go to the ICommand interface, right click and click add and then click implement interface. When I am right clicking the ICommand interface, I am not getting the add option.Is this because the walkthrough is on a older version or am I making a mistake??

Thanks in advance.

It's proablly that it is for an older version. Certainly, it doesn't seem to work in my VS2008. There are two other ways to do it easily:
1) When you type the interface name:

public class ZoomIn : ICommand

A small blue rectangle will appear under the first letter. Move the mouse over that and click the drop down.
2) Right click the interface name in the class declaration: Implement it on the menu that appears.
