How to make an addon like Firebug?

I am mainly a dotnet developer (newbie). I need to make IE addon like Firebug in Firefox. I need the HTML and CSS functions of Firebug, no other functions needed. I would like to know where to start and which platform to choose. I would prefer dotnet, but if this is not possible, you can go for others. I created an FF toolbar that connects a client database, but has no idea about the Firebug addon. I need to make it only for IE . Can someone help me with links, code snippets and / or some theories to help me make my project. Thanks for any help :)

Developing something like Firebug is a huge job for someone who, I assume, has not written a Firefox extension before.

However, there is an introduction to developing extensions for Firefox on the Mozilla blog and something similar to IE on MSDN .

Finally, is there a reason you need to write something? Firebug works very well and IE Developer Tools
