Ebook Free Download | Visual Studio Tools for Office 2007: VSTO for Excel, Word, and Outlook | One of the problems with previous books about .Net programming for Office is that they tended to get bogged down discussing differences between versions of Office, differences between versions of Visual Studio Tools for Office, and differences betwee C# and VB.Net. This often left comparatively little room for thoughtful discussion of fundamental principles and advanced concepts. In Visual Studio Tools for Office 2007: VSTO for Excel, Word, and Outlook, authors Eric Carter and Eric Lippert avoid this problem by focusing on one version of Office (2007), one version of VSTO (2008), and one language (C#). The result is a highly readable book that takes you from zero to sixty (to use some car lingo) in seconds flat.Part I discusses the special challenges of using managed code to control still-COM-based Office applications. The nice thing about this discussion is that it gets all the bad news out of the way right in the beginning, and it helps you see that the bad news isn't all that bad, and in any case there's surprisingly little of it. After less than 90 pages, you feel very well grounded in the fundamentals of .Net-to-Office interoperability. The discussion of interfaces, delegates, and events on Pages 44-49 is so valuable that it justifies the price of the book all by itself. That discussion is followed by another incredibly valuable discussion of three types of Office solutions, which discussion truly sets the stage for the rest of the book.
Part II provides three chapters apiece on Excel, Word, and Outlook.The first chapter on each application addresses special considerations when interoperating with that application. The second chapter covers events for that application, and the third covers that application's object model. I have never seen a more sensible and authoritative introduction to the Office application object models than those presented in this book.
Part III is devoted to topics specific to VSTO as a development toolset. This is where you'll find chapters on the VSTO programming model, using Windows forms and WPF in VSTO, working with document-level and application-level task panes, working with Outlook forms regions, working with the ribbon, working with Smart Tags, working with data, and deploying solutions with VSTO's new click-once deployment capability.
