ÔÇ£With the application development community so focused on the Smart Client revolution, a book that covers VSTO from A to Z is both important and necessary. This book lives up to big expectations. It is thorough, has tons of example code, and covers Office programming in general termsÔÇötopics that can be foreign to the seasoned .NET developer who has focused on ASP.NET applications for years. Congratulations to Eric Lippert and Eric Carter for such a valuable work!ÔÇØ

ÔÇ£This book covers in a clear and concise way all of the ins and outs of programming with Visual Studio Tools for Office. Given the authorsÔÇÖ exhaustive experiences with this subject, you canÔÇÖt get a more authoritative description of VSTO than this book!ÔÇØ

ÔÇ£Eric and Eric really get it. Professional programmers will love the rich power of Visual Studio and .NET, along with the ability to tap into Office programmability. This book walks you through programming Excel, Word, InfoPath, and Outlook solutions.ÔÇØ

ÔÇ£This book is an in-depth, expert, and definitive guide to programming using Visual Studio Tools for Office 2005. It is a must-have book for anyone doing Office development.ÔÇØ

ÔÇ£We donÔÇÖt buy technical books for light reading. We buy them as a resource for developing a solution. This book is an excellent resource for someone getting started with Smart Client development. For example, it is common to hear a comment along the lines of, ÔÇÿIt is easy to manipulate the Task Pane in Office 2003 using VSTO 2005,ÔÇÖ but until you see something like the example at the start of Chapter 15, it is hard to put ÔÇÿeasyÔÇÖ into perspective. This is a thorough book that covers everything from calling Office applications from your application, to building applications that are Smart Documents. It allows the traditional Windows developer to really leverage the power of Office 2003.ÔÇØ

ÔÇ£Eric Carter and Eric Lippert have been the driving force behind Office development and Visual Studio Tools for Office 2005. The depth of their knowledge and understanding of VSTO and Office is evident in this book. Professional developers architecting enterprise solutions using VSTO 2005 and Office System 2003 now have a new weapon in their technical arsenal.ÔÇØ
ÔÇöPaul Stubbs, program manager, Microsoft Corporation
ÔÇ£This book is both a learning tool and a reference book, with a richness of tables containing object model objects and their properties, methods, and events. I would recommend it to anyone considering doing Office development using the .NET framework, especially people interested in VSTO programming.ÔÇØ

VSTO provides functionality never before available to the Office developer: data binding and data/view separation, design-time views of Excel and Word documents inside Visual Studio, rich support for Windows Forms controls in a document, the ability to create custom Office task panes, server-side programming support against Office, and much more.
Carter and Lippert cover their subject matter with deft insight into the needs of .NET developers learning VSTO. This book
Advanced material covers working with XML in Word and Excel, developing COM add-ins for Word and Excel, and creating Outlook add-ins with VSTO.
The complete code samples are available on the bookÔÇÖs Web page.
