Outlook XML feed - make it appear in a specific window

I am making my first attempt to create a feed in Outlook using XML, and I am having problems determining how to tell my add-in that I want the feed to appear in Explorer windows.

Tip

Thank.

my Ribbon1.XML file is:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2009/07/customui" onLoad="Ribbon_Load">
  <ribbon>
    <tabs>
      <tab idMso="TabAddIns">
        <group id="MyGroup"
               label="My Group">
          <button idMso="Delete"/>
        </group>
      </tab>
      <tab idMso="TabMail">
        <group idMso="GroupMoveActions"
               visible="false">
        </group>
      </tab>
    </tabs>
  </ribbon>
</customUI>

A magic error popup will appear:

UI runtime error in testOLaddin2

Error found in CustomUI XML of "testingOLaddin2"

Line: 3
Column: 10

It depends on the method you use to create add-ons and ribbons. If you use

IRibbonExtensibility.GetCustomUI(string RibbonId)

you could only do this by returning the xml tape if the RibbonId parameter is

"Microsoft.Outlook.Explorer"

Edit

After changing the code, it may work:

public string GetCustomUI(string ribbonID)
{
  if (ribbonID == "Microsoft.Outlook.Explorer")
    return GetResourceText("testingOLaddin2.Ribbon1.xml");

  return null; // if problems here, try return string.Empty
}
