    Roadmap: Apps for Office, VSTO & VBA
    Cindy Meister MVP Tuesday, June 18, 2013 5:35 PM

    Many folks have been asking about the emerging "apps for Office" model, and what it means for the future of VSTO & VBA.  Rest assured that VSTO & VBA continue to be alive and well.  In fact, many existing automation scenarios continue to be best served by VSTO & VBA for now.  At the same time, there are many exciting opportunities to look forward in apps for Office: for example, the ability to better integrate with web content and JavaScript/CSS libraries, support for host applications beyond the desktop versions of Office, and new distribution and monetization opportunities through the Office Store.

    To learn more, please see the blog post:  "Roadmap for Apps for Office, VSTO, and VBA".

    Documentation for Office 2013 Ribbon controls now available
    Cindy Meister MVP Saturday, December 22, 2012 8:40 AM

    I know the documentation for Office 2013 is still somewhat limited, but hopefully the following link will help.

    Microsoft Office Document: [MS-CustomUI2] Supporting Documentation - http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=727

    From here, you should be able to download the *.txt files for Word, Excel and PowerPoint, plus the imageMso information. Once a file is downloaded, it can be opened in Excel to make it easier to look through all the controls.

    Release of the Open XML SDK 2.5
    Cindy Meister MVP Monday, December 10, 2012 7:26 AM

    The download page for the Open XML SDK 2.5 for Microsoft Office is now providing the RTW version of Open XML SDK 2.5. You can use this version for production. We are now updating the documentation in MSDN. Until the publication of the updated documentation, please refer to the SDK document in Productivity Tool.

    The differences between the CTP and the RTW versions exist in the classes of "Office15", and those are renamed to "Office2013". Also we are preparing a set of sample code demonstrating how the classes can be used.

    Regards,

    Kazunori Matsuura

    New release of VSTO run-time fixes issues
    Cindy Meister MVP Friday, April 18, 2014 5:47 PM

    For details, see the blog article http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vsto/archive/2014/04/10/vsto-runtime-update-to-address-slow-shutdown-and-unknown-publisher-for-sha256-certificates.aspx

    This release fixes:

    1. For VSTO add-ins using WPF controls, customers using touch-enabled
    devices experienced a 15-20 second lag when closing Office applications

    2. for developers using SHA256 code-signing certificates, the installation
    Trust Prompt would erroneously display “Unknown Publisher” even when the
    publisher was fully trusted.

    Office Tools for Visual Studio 2015
    Cindy Meister MVP Wednesday, March 6, 2013 2:22 PM

    The newest version of Visual Studio - 2015 - is now available.

    The Community edition of Visual Studio also supports "Office Tools", including VSTO and "Apps for Office" templates. Both can be downloaded at
    https://www.visualstudio.com/features/office-tools-vs

    What was new in VS 2013 for Office:

    For VSTO developers in particular, new in this release is the ability to code-sign VSTO solutions with SHA-256 certificates.  The latest release also supports Office 2013 right-out-of-the-box without requiring a separate download, and the Office 2013 templates can now target the latest .NET Framework 4.5.1.

    Visual Studio 2013 also delivers a broad set of tooling for the new apps for Office and apps for SharePoint.  Some highlights include the ability to create MVC SharePoint apps, enhancements around app-publishing, and a new set of tooling around Cloud Business Apps that integrate seamlessly with Office 365 services.  Learn more on the apps for Office and SharePoint blog.

    Tip: 
    Just like Visual Studio 2012, Visual Studio 2013 continues to support the Office 2010 templates.  However, to reduce clutter, we have re-categorized the project templates according to the .NET Framework version that they support.  So, if you're looking for the Office 2010 templates, be sure to adjust the ".NET Framework" dropdown to ".NET Framework 4.0".

    We hope you enjoy Visual Studio 2013 and the many great features that this IDE has to offer!

    Project 2013 SDK - March 2013 update
    Jim Corbin Friday, July 27, 2012 6:13 PM

    The Project 2013 SDK download is updated. The conceptual, how-to, and reference documentation in the download closely matches the Project 2013 developer documentation online content published on MSDN.

    The Project2013SDK.msi download file now installs properly on Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012.

    The Project 2013 SDK download contains:

    • The on-premises Reporting database schema reference, ProjectServer2013_ReportingDB.chm, and the OLAP cube schema reference. 
    • Updated VBA Help for local use. Objects such as Chart, Report, Series, and Shape now show correct members tables, properties, and methods topics.
    • Basic reference topics for the JavaScript client-side object model (JSOM), which includes REST endpoints and HTTP request syntax. You can use the JSOM for development of Project Online solutions for cross-browser web apps and for non-Windows platforms.
    • Sixteen complete code solutions, including two task pane apps (with minor updates) for Project, the QuickStatus app sample for Project Server and Project Online, eight client-side object model (CSOM) solutions, two solutions for querying the ProjectData service for reporting, and three updated legacy PSI solutions.
    • DLLs and a license for redistribution of the Project Server CSOM assemblies, JavaScript files for the CSOM, the Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.Library assembly, and the Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.Events.Receivers library for on-premises development.
      Notes:   1. The REDIST.zip file that is attached to the Project_Programmability blog post contains the RTM build
                       15.0.4420.1017 of the Project Server assemblies for redistribution, including the
                       Microsoft.Office.Project.Schema.dll assembly, for developing event handlers.
                   2. Project CSOM solutions also require the redistributable DLLs for the SharePoint 2013 CSOM,
                       which are at SharePoint Server 2013 Client Components SDK.
    • Updated Intellisense files for the PSI and CSOM, source code for creating a PSI proxy assembly, and instructions on how to update the PSI proxy files.
    • XML schemas for the Project client, AppProvisioning, and the Statusing PSI.

    The top-level online landing page for the Project SDK is Project for developers (http://msdn.microsoft.com/project).

    For additional Project-related SDK content, see Office for developers (http://msdn.microsoft.com/office), SharePoint for developers (http://msdn.microsoft.com/sharepoint), and Build apps for Office and SharePoint (http://msdn.microsoft.com/office/apps/). The two articles on Task pane apps for Project are in the Apps for Office and SharePoint SDK, and the JavaScript API for Office reference includes information specific for Project, the ProjectDocument object with eleven methods and three events, and four enumerations for Project.

    Roadmap: Apps for Office, VSTO & VBA
    Cindy Meister MVP Tuesday, June 18, 2013 5:35 PM

    Many folks have been asking about the emerging "apps for Office" model, and what it means for the future of VSTO & VBA.  Rest assured that VSTO & VBA continue to be alive and well.  In fact, many existing automation scenarios continue to be best served by VSTO & VBA for now.  At the same time, there are many exciting opportunities to look forward in apps for Office: for example, the ability to better integrate with web content and JavaScript/CSS libraries, support for host applications beyond the desktop versions of Office, and new distribution and monetization opportunities through the Office Store.

    To learn more, please see the blog post:  "Roadmap for Apps for Office, VSTO, and VBA".

    Documentation for Office 2013 Ribbon controls now available
    Cindy Meister MVP Saturday, December 22, 2012 8:40 AM

    I know the documentation for Office 2013 is still somewhat limited, but hopefully the following link will help.

    Microsoft Office Document: [MS-CustomUI2] Supporting Documentation - http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=727

    From here, you should be able to download the *.txt files for Word, Excel and PowerPoint, plus the imageMso information. Once a file is downloaded, it can be opened in Excel to make it easier to look through all the controls.

    Release of the Open XML SDK 2.5
    Cindy Meister MVP Monday, December 10, 2012 7:26 AM

    The download page for the Open XML SDK 2.5 for Microsoft Office is now providing the RTW version of Open XML SDK 2.5. You can use this version for production. We are now updating the documentation in MSDN. Until the publication of the updated documentation, please refer to the SDK document in Productivity Tool.

    The differences between the CTP and the RTW versions exist in the classes of "Office15", and those are renamed to "Office2013". Also we are preparing a set of sample code demonstrating how the classes can be used.

    Regards,

    Kazunori Matsuura

    New release of VSTO run-time fixes issues
    Cindy Meister MVP Friday, April 18, 2014 5:47 PM

    For details, see the blog article http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vsto/archive/2014/04/10/vsto-runtime-update-to-address-slow-shutdown-and-unknown-publisher-for-sha256-certificates.aspx

    This release fixes:

    1. For VSTO add-ins using WPF controls, customers using touch-enabled
    devices experienced a 15-20 second lag when closing Office applications

    2. for developers using SHA256 code-signing certificates, the installation
    Trust Prompt would erroneously display “Unknown Publisher” even when the
    publisher was fully trusted.

    Office Tools for Visual Studio 2015
    Cindy Meister MVP Wednesday, March 6, 2013 2:22 PM

    The newest version of Visual Studio - 2015 - is now available.

    The Community edition of Visual Studio also supports "Office Tools", including VSTO and "Apps for Office" templates. Both can be downloaded at
    https://www.visualstudio.com/features/office-tools-vs

    What was new in VS 2013 for Office:

    For VSTO developers in particular, new in this release is the ability to code-sign VSTO solutions with SHA-256 certificates.  The latest release also supports Office 2013 right-out-of-the-box without requiring a separate download, and the Office 2013 templates can now target the latest .NET Framework 4.5.1.

    Visual Studio 2013 also delivers a broad set of tooling for the new apps for Office and apps for SharePoint.  Some highlights include the ability to create MVC SharePoint apps, enhancements around app-publishing, and a new set of tooling around Cloud Business Apps that integrate seamlessly with Office 365 services.  Learn more on the apps for Office and SharePoint blog.

    Tip: 
    Just like Visual Studio 2012, Visual Studio 2013 continues to support the Office 2010 templates.  However, to reduce clutter, we have re-categorized the project templates according to the .NET Framework version that they support.  So, if you're looking for the Office 2010 templates, be sure to adjust the ".NET Framework" dropdown to ".NET Framework 4.0".

    We hope you enjoy Visual Studio 2013 and the many great features that this IDE has to offer!

    Project 2013 SDK - March 2013 update
    Jim Corbin Friday, July 27, 2012 6:13 PM

    The Project 2013 SDK download is updated. The conceptual, how-to, and reference documentation in the download closely matches the Project 2013 developer documentation online content published on MSDN.

    The Project2013SDK.msi download file now installs properly on Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012.

    The Project 2013 SDK download contains:

    • The on-premises Reporting database schema reference, ProjectServer2013_ReportingDB.chm, and the OLAP cube schema reference. 
    • Updated VBA Help for local use. Objects such as Chart, Report, Series, and Shape now show correct members tables, properties, and methods topics.
    • Basic reference topics for the JavaScript client-side object model (JSOM), which includes REST endpoints and HTTP request syntax. You can use the JSOM for development of Project Online solutions for cross-browser web apps and for non-Windows platforms.
    • Sixteen complete code solutions, including two task pane apps (with minor updates) for Project, the QuickStatus app sample for Project Server and Project Online, eight client-side object model (CSOM) solutions, two solutions for querying the ProjectData service for reporting, and three updated legacy PSI solutions.
    • DLLs and a license for redistribution of the Project Server CSOM assemblies, JavaScript files for the CSOM, the Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.Library assembly, and the Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.Events.Receivers library for on-premises development.
      Notes:   1. The REDIST.zip file that is attached to the Project_Programmability blog post contains the RTM build
                       15.0.4420.1017 of the Project Server assemblies for redistribution, including the
                       Microsoft.Office.Project.Schema.dll assembly, for developing event handlers.
                   2. Project CSOM solutions also require the redistributable DLLs for the SharePoint 2013 CSOM,
                       which are at SharePoint Server 2013 Client Components SDK.
    • Updated Intellisense files for the PSI and CSOM, source code for creating a PSI proxy assembly, and instructions on how to update the PSI proxy files.
    • XML schemas for the Project client, AppProvisioning, and the Statusing PSI.

    The top-level online landing page for the Project SDK is Project for developers (http://msdn.microsoft.com/project).

    For additional Project-related SDK content, see Office for developers (http://msdn.microsoft.com/office), SharePoint for developers (http://msdn.microsoft.com/sharepoint), and Build apps for Office and SharePoint (http://msdn.microsoft.com/office/apps/). The two articles on Task pane apps for Project are in the Apps for Office and SharePoint SDK, and the JavaScript API for Office reference includes information specific for Project, the ProjectDocument object with eleven methods and three events, and four enumerations for Project.
