    documentPath As String _
) As Integer

public static int GetCustomizationVersion(
    string documentPath

Remarks

Office solutions created in different versions of Visual Studio use different versions of the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime. Each version of the runtime provides a different version of the ServerDocument class that is designed to work with solutions for that version of the runtime. This version of the ServerDocument class can be used with solutions that are created by using Visual Studio 2010 and with 2007 Microsoft Office solutions that are created by using Visual Studio 2008.

The following table specifies the meaning of the return values for this method.

For more information about the different versions of the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime, see Visual Studio Tools for Office Runtime Overview.

Examples

The following code example creates a new ServerDocument that loads a specified document and then displays the URL of the deployment manifest for the customization that is attached to the document. Before creating the object, the code uses the GetCustomizationVersion method to verify that the customization was created by using the Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime.

This example requires:

• A console application project or some other non-Office project.

• References to the following assemblies:

  • Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Applications.ServerDocument.dll and Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Applications.Runtime.dll (if the project targets the .NET Framework 4).

    or

  • Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Applications.ServerDocument.v10.0.dll and Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Applications.Runtime.v9.0.dll (if the project targets the .NET Framework 3.5).

• Imports (for Visual Basic) or using (for C#) statements for Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Applications and Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Applications.Runtime namespaces at the top of your code file.
