PLEASE READ FIRST - What is VSTO and non-VSTO resources

Question

Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO) is a set of tools for the C# and VB.NET developer. It primarily aids in extending the user interface of Office 2003, 2007 and 2010 applications. Using the VSTO templates the developer can create managed code COM Add-ins for many Office applications. For Word and Excel, VSTO also offers a managed code alternative to VBA in the form of document-level customization templates. For more information, see the Please Read Next message.

 The Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO) forum is for VSTO-specific questions. Please feel free to post questions or issues specifically related to developing managed code applications using VSTO.
 
If you have questions or issues pertaining to non-VSTO specific topics such as Office application versions other than those listed above, VBA, classic VB, C++, ASP.NET, WinForms, Shared Add-ins, etc., please post them in the appropriate Microsoft forum or newsgroup.
