Visual Studio.NET can be used to produce both native and managed
applications. A toolband can be implemented in managed code if you are
so inclined - see

Any other recommendations for the path I'm going down? Do you think
the KBBAR is the best place to start from a learning standpoint?
KBBAR heavily relies on MFC. If you plan to write your toolband with
MFC, or if know MFC sufficiently well to be able to mentally separate
actual application code from framework glue, it's a fairly good sample.
If you would rather use ATL (and why would you post to ATL group
otherwise?) look at

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925
