Location of DSOFramer Download

Question

I have been attempting to locate the download for DSOFramer. At one point I had this sample but have since lost it. The last location I was aware of it existing was at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/311765/EN-US but it seems to have been removed. Can anyone point me to it? ANyone know why this has been removed?

Thanks,

Answer 1

Yes, I noticed.  DsoFramer is history.  I'm guessing they removed it because it was causing too many problems with modern Office versions.  It was already quite troublesome with Office 2007, 2010 is around the corner.  OLE Linking and Embedding is dead technology.

Hello All,

I am working on application which embeds  word 2007 in it by using  DSO Framer  & programming language is vb.net , visual studio 2008

 

My application perform following operation

 

1)allow user to create word document.

2)insert data(data table ) in document   as table word document.

3)Insert images, etc.

4)save data  inserted  in document.

 

Now I need to embed office 2010 to my application as I embed 2007.

 

  Is it not possible to without rewrite complete application ?

  I am looking  for  solution which will embed word 2010 without  rewriting  complete code.

Answer 6

Is there any other choice for programmer who are already using DsoFramer in there application and need to embed word 2010?

Answer 7

An easy solution is to use the control from officeocx. It works with the word 2010. I am using it with the mail merge. The dsoframer can't do the mail merge. All buttons are grey in the dsoframer.

DSOFramer Control has been retired. DSOFramer was a sample and is not supported. There will be no further updates to DSOFramer and KB 311765 is been taken down.  Office was never meant to run in embedded mode. There are many known issues when Office is embedded.

Besides DsoFramer, you can also use the WebBrowser embedded in Winform or ASP.NET and navigate to an Office document. But that is also an embedded using which considered not supported and may cause some known issues.

I find your statement that office was never meant to run in embedded mode troubling. If that is the case then why even have the feature? You can't just cede the support scenario to the people building on your platform b\c you don't want to support ole embedding anymore. Either remove all ole embedding from office including charts, excel spreadsheets, and the IPreviewHandler in windows explorer or start fixing some issues with ole embedded scenarios.  I don't really care which route you choose but this limbo of unsupported features in your product is unacceptable.
