4 Agenda Why Office Dev VS2010 features VSTO4-specific OpenXML SDK

5 Why build on Office? Provide solutions that match internal processes Integrate data where users make decisions Build instantly familiar applications

6 Office Development in VS 2010 Provide familiar VS Pro dev experiences Project Templates Visual Designers Integrated Debugging Make it easy to access LOB data Connect to multiple backend data sources Design data models & expose them through services RAD data binding support Enable seamless deployment Smooth end-user experience It s all about context

7 Building Office Client Apps in VS 2010 Design-time Target Office 2007 or Office 2010 COM Interop from C# is now as easy as VB RAD Databinding Support Runtime Runtime ships with Office 2010 Embed Interop Types Target FX 3.5 or 4 Deployment Less pre-reqs to worry about Deploy multiple add-ins in a single package Custom actions run after solution is deployed Machine wide install of add-ins

8 Office Development in Visual Studio VS 2005 Design Word & Excel 2003 document solutions Develop application add-ins for Office 2003 or 2007 (RTM + SE) Display action panes / custom task panes in your application VS 2008 Target Office 2003 or Office 2007 Use Visual Designers to create custom Ribbon and Outlook UI Deploy Office solutions with ClickOnce Define SharePoint Workflows VS 2010 Target Office 2007/2010 and SharePoint 2007/2010 Design and Debug SharePoint solutions Improved OBA Deployment

9 Designtime Tooling Application level or document add-ins Office 2007 and Office 2010 Project Templates Target Office 32 or 64 Visual Designers Customize Ribbon UI Create Outlook Form Regions Action Panes/Custom Task Panes Databinding Word Content controls Excel List Objects WinForms/WPF

10 Office bit support Design time VS remains 32-bit and can support Office 64-bit as well as Office 32-bit (WOW) scenarios VS will host 64-bit Word and Excel designers for document solutions Runtime 32 and 64-bit versions of VSTO Runtime Smart Bootstrapper automatically installs the right version

11 Office Extensions for.net VSTO Runtime 2010 (the redist) contains Office extensions for.net 3.5 Office extensions for.net 4.0 Office Extensions for.net 4.0 New model for version resiliency Uses CLR4.0 type embedding and type equivalence No runtime dependency on Office PIAs Performance improvements

12 Language Features VS2010 FEATURES

13 Language Features Visual Basic.NET Auto-implemented properties Statement lambdas Collection initializers Implicit line continuation C# Optional and named parameters Optional ref parameter modifier Dynamic dispatch on COM calls returning Object

14 .NET 4.0: VB Enhancements Auto Properties Implicit Line continuation Collection Initializers Dynamic Statement Lambdas

15 .NET 4.0: C# Language Enhancements Optional Params object filename = "Test.docx"; object missing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value; doc.saveas(ref filename, refdoc.saveas("test.docx"); missing, missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing); Named argument Late-binding through dynamic type namedrange.find("dog", xlbyrows, MatchCase: True); dynamic result = namedrange.find(matchcase: True, what: "dog", searchorder: xlbyrows); Named arguments can appear in any order Arguments evaluated in order written result.clearcontents();

16 Automating Excel and Word (VB.NET)

17 No-PIA deployment VS2010 FEATURES

18 Compiling without Primary Interop Assemblies (PIAs) Use PIAs at design-time, not runtime No need to deploy PIA to user s machine Compiler embeds the specific members of the specific types used into your assembly. (Prevents assembly from becoming bloated)

19 Automating Word (C#)

20 VSTO4-specific Deploying Multiple Office Solutions in a Single ClickOnce Installer

21 Better Deployment Multi-Solution Deployment Post Deployment Actions New Publish Options Dialog
