I am starting to realize that I need to post more than once a day. There's just so much going on. I'll kick it off today by saying that we just published a new and rather important article on the site:

Convert VBA Code to Visual Basic .NET When Migrating to Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Office

This article is not the complete story on migration (easy does it my friends!). It is designed to address issues like: Can I used default properties in a Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System solution? Or: If I am accustomed to declaring fixed length strings in VBA a certain way, can I do that in VSTO? And: What's the story on late-binding in VSTO?

A lot of these issues in the paper have little do with VSTO per se and more to do with migrating to the .NET Framework. Intringuingly, this paper comes at a time when our discussion of VBA/VSTO (evolving from our task pane discussion) is still going on here.

 Rock Thought for the Day: I mentioned the Sex Pistols yesterday. Well, I just heard about this band, Beatsteaks. They opened for the Pistols back in the mid-90's and are on tour right now. Good punk band with a stronger melodic focus than one normally expects.
