Hello Erika! I am writing to you from Portugal. I'm a Microsoft Application Developer and I own a small ISV company and I develop many applications that integrate with Office (especialy in VB6 and VBA). I have been a developer for .NET since the first versions ou VS.NET and now I am developing integration with Office using .NET instead of VB6. I have to say that I found your blog very usefull and this tool here (DSO Framer Control) is realy cool. I'm going to explore it a little bit more. Thanks!

I am porting an MFC application to .NET using C#. The app has the feature of establishing OLE Link with Excel. For example, user can copy a cell from Excel 2003 and do "Paste Link" to the app, and these 2 become linked together through OLE Link.

I could not find anything on the internet do enable me to do that in C# and .NET. Will this control help on this issue?

Also I just heard about VS Tools for Office but have not tried it. Does VSTO offer any help in this issue?

Thank you in advance for any input.

You can install it in the 2005 toolbox. Pretty tricky though. Furthermore... is you do a lot of calls I get timing issues with the Excel COM. I haven't found a way to time the threads yet.

I suppose it's absolutley awful!

Why microsoft don't want to create a good implementation of the office viewers which can be easily embedded into Windows Forms and WPF.

Such controls are microsoft undone work. I've also used such tricks as putting the WebBrowser control into the form then opening a localy store .ppt file. It seems to me as an awful solution... but it's the only worked.

You should better create a better Office Control for .NET applications.

Hi, many people are asking about adding DSO framer into VS2005 toolbox. Does anyone have a reply for this, as I have not managed either. When adding the DSO framer to the toolbox (VS2005) the control appears disabled, and I am not able to use it. Any ideas? The same thing happens when adding the Visio Drawing Control to the toolbox in VS2005

Open your VB.NET or C#.NET 2005 project.

Click on the Tools pull-down menu and the Choose Toolbox Items option.

Click on the COM Components tab.

Scroll down in the Listbox to find "DSO Framer Control Object" and click on its Checkbox.

If it's not in the list, click the "Browse" button and navigate to wherever dsoframer.ocx is loaded on your machine (on my system it's at: c:\DsoFramer\dsoframer.ocx).

Click OK.

Look for it in the "General" section of the Toolbox.

I developed an application with VB 2005. I'm using dsoframer control in the application to host MS Word document.

I have no problem to load the word doc inside the dsoframer. But the problem is every time i click on the Print Preview button to preview the document and then close the print preview screen, the loaded

document become a blank document inside dsoframer. In other word, the content on the document is gone! Then i tried to click on the Print preview button again, i

found out that the content is still there under the preview mode. But i wonder why when i clicked on the close print preview, the content of the document is gone??

Can anybody tells me why and how to fix this? Thanks in advanced...

Thank you,

Got this control to work relatively well using VB.NET after starting to play with the FramehookPolicy and ActivationPolicy properties. Stil another problem remains... when loading MsProject and opening the "Task Information" dialog, it appears it does not recieve some of the messages (e.g. cannot change fields in it). Anybody out there with some suggestions? Shall be much appreciated. Regards.
