Where did my permission set controls go?
20 May 09 01:00 PM
I’m going to diverge a bit off the VSTO path and talk about a more generic ClickOnce story. If you have used ClickOnce in VS 2008 or VS 2005 you may be somewhat familiar with partial trust scenarios and the idea of permission sets. If you do not care

Enterprise Level Deployment of VSTO Solutions: Deployment Design
08 April 09 05:00 PM
It's been a while, I'm not really interested in going to the details of why at the moment, lets dig right into the topic. Generally I focus on more of the technical aspects of what you can do without really talking much about some of the other considerations

VS 2008 SP1 and VSTO, why you should be seriously considering installation.
03 October 08 05:15 PM
I'm not going to go into detail about everything in the VS 2008 SP1 package, but what I would like to point out some key deployment features that were added and why you would want to consider installing even if you have a large user base using a base

In the Before of the Beginning: Custom Prerequisites for VSTO ClickOnce (part II).
30 July 08 03:00 PM
In my last post I talked about the first steps to building my Customer Prerequisite. In it, I built an MSI that would display a message box during the install phase. Here is what Setup1looks like when you run it: It's nothing too ingenious but it

In the Before of the Beginning: Custom Prerequisites for VSTO ClickOnce (part I).
18 July 08 09:06 PM
In January I talked about using Custom Prerequisites to add a little more specialization to the VSTO ClickOnce experience. I didn't go too much in depth into this and I've since seen a few comments crop up about them in some of the VSTO community

MSI VSTO Deployment revealed
09 June 08 03:30 PM
For the past couple of months I have been avoiding talking too much on this blog about about creating "Windows Installer" deployments of VSTO. I've been avoiding it because we've been working on writing a well-formed paper on how to do

One-Shot customizations, but we're not VBA.
22 April 08 02:45 PM
Last week I had the pleasure of getting some very interesting feedback from some of the Microsoft Office development audience (people who develop against office through VSTO/VSTA/VBA/Shared Add-ins/etc ). If you were at said event and are now reading

Click-Once forced updates in VSTO II: A fuller solution
18 April 08 02:00 PM
Last Week I talked about user-generated updates and the Click-Once Deployment Management API's. Based on some internal feedback and a large degree of personal interest, I'm going to come right back around to the same topic, but with a cleaner

Click-Once forced updates in VSTO: Some things we don't recommend using, that you might consider anyway.
10 April 08 02:17 PM
Before I go any further in this post I'm going to put a huge disclaimer: You should be warned what I'm about to cover has not been fully tested, is clearly not supported or recommended and may have significant impact on your application's ability to work.

VSTO 3.0 and .NET 3.5
21 March 08 02:26 AM
From time to time I will come across (via various channels) a question of why VSTO 3.0 requires the 3.5 framework. Usually these questions are prefaced or suffixed with a “in VSTO 2005 SE I was able to use 2.0, why are you making me use 3.5 now?” Just

If memory serves me correctly...
08 March 08 04:43 AM
Memory is king and he who remembers the most rules will rule the most (not a real quote but it sounds interesting). Anyway, it is very easy to create "widget" apps with VSTO that "do" something, but often where the really interesting projects come into

Delaying the inevitable.
04 March 08 06:00 PM
Just a micro update: Ade Miller has an excellent post on how to delay sign vsto dll's. You can see his blog entry here . Basically he is talking about building the solution and Signing the dll's and then re-signing the manifests. If you or your company

Power to the People.
22 February 08 03:43 AM
I have some excellent news for any VSTO developers out there. We've released the first set of Power Tools. You can read more about them here and you can get them from here . Andrew Whitechapel's blog entry covers the tools at pretty good length. If you

Being Pushy with VSTO ClickOnce
02 February 08 03:26 AM
The other day I was in a meeting and it was mentioned that the new VSTO Deployment model didn't really support a "push" model. I've thought about this for a while and I have to disagree and agree. In software development "supporting" is really more of

Searching for that special thing and some other hints.
17 January 08 10:33 PM
I haven't talked much about what I do here at Microsoft. To be honest I'm not going to go too far into any details about what I am doing but I think it'll be okay to talk about what I did do (up until we shipped VSTO 2008). I am and SDET which basically
