Office Developer Conference

  • [アーティクル]

I mentioned the Office Developer Conference in a previous post due to its relevance to Smart Client applications. In the Bill Gates keynote, you will find references to Office as a platform and a demo of the Visual Studio for Office 2005 (VSTO) product which I have a personal interest and pride in. The ability to utilize the full functionality of a robust spreadsheet application like Excel and extend the application through customizations (Hosted .Net code) is a major pillar in the Smart Client paradigm. Imagine the development opportunities in extending an existing robust application as opposed to starting with an empty Winform shell.
