Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO) combine the productivity and power of Visual Studio® .NET 2003 and the Microsoft .NET Framework with the extensibility and programmability of Microsoft Office Excel 2003 and Microsoft Office Word 2003. With VSTO, developers using Visual Studio .NET 2003 can use Microsoft Visual Basic® .NET and Microsoft Visual C#® .NET to write managed code behind Word-based and Excel-based programs.
Developing for Office 2003
This session introduces you to integrating your application with Microsoft Office. We’ll demonstrate how to leverage best-of-breed tools and maintain familiar environment for your users using VSTO. We’ll also discuss developing Office Add-ins and Smart Tags.
