Demo: Creating an Excel Real Estate Locator Solution with Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Office
The VSTO team showed a cool Microsoft Excel demo at the Office Developer Conference held in Redmond in February 2005 at the Microsoft Conference Center.
We received a lot of positive feedback for that demo, so I went ahead and recorded it for you. In this demo, you will learn how to use Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Office to transform a static mortgage calculator worksheet into a rich real estate locator solution by adding data binding, user controls, a managed actions pane, and Web services.
The presentation is about 17 minutes long and the file size is 17MB. You can view this streaming video by clicking Real Estate Locator. If you prefer to view the demo offline, it can be downloaded at Demo 14 -- Creating an Excel Real Estate Locator Application.wmv.
One comment I received on this blog entry was a question about how these types of solutions would be deployed. Here is a link to our Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Office deployment documentation (Beta). Please keep visiting this blog as we are also in the process of preparing a deployment whitepaper which should publish in the May/June 2005 timeframe.
Watch out for the whitepaper with solution code for this demo sometime in the June/July 2005 timeframe. You will find it on the MSDN Office Developer Center under Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Office.
