VSTO Beta Hands-on Labs are Live on MSDN

  • Artykuł

If you are new to VSTO the hands-on labs (HOL) are a great way to kick the tires and try out the new features. These are labs that were featured at TechEd 2007 this year in Orlando so if you were waiting to go to PDC and missed it here they are for you to try.

MSDN Virtual Lab: Building Custom Office Applications Using Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Office Part 1 - Data Binding with Word Content Controls

MSDN Virtual Lab: Building Custom Office Applications Using Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Office Part 2 - Create an Outlook Add-in with a Form Region

MSDN Virtual Lab: Building Custom Office Applications Using Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Office Part 3 - Build an Excel Add-in with Ribbon and Custom Task Pane Integration

MSDN Virtual Lab: Building Custom Office Applications Using Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Office Part 4 - Create a SharePoint Workflow

Part 4 is an especially good one to do as a HOL because VSTO Workflow projects require that you run Visual Studio 2008 on a Office SharePoint Server (MOSS). This takes a long time to setup and requires some good hardware to make it tolerable.

    Hi Paul, PDC? You mean there actually will be a PDC -this- year? I know it was in a process of rescheduling (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/events/bb288534.aspx) but didn't expect it to happen before VS08, SQL08 and WS08 hitting RTM early next year. -= Maarten =-

    No there is not going to be PDC this year. What I was refering to was the fact that some people only have budget to go to one conference a year and were holding out for PDC and as such missed TechEd.

    Are these Office 2007 only examples?

    Yes they are, but most of the features in VS 2008 apply to the new Office 2007 features like Ribbon and Outlook Form Regions.
