Topic:
Microsoft Office for the Visual Studio Developer
Building applications that integrate with Microsoft Office or produce Microsoft Office documents doesn’t have to be magic. In this session, we will look at using Visual Studio to build Office Add-ins and Document Templates. Previously, this required a lot of complex code but is simplified by Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO). In addition, Microsoft Office now has a new XML File Format we will explore how it can be leveraged server side to produce Microsoft Office documents on the fly.
