Buenas

para todos aquellos que hayan instalado Microsoft Office 2007 Beta 2 Technical Refresh y hayan tenido que instalar y desinstalar casi 30 veces como yo gracias a las fabulosas características de Windows Vista, ya está disponible el nuevo VSTO para que podamos desarrollar aplicaciones integradas con Microsoft Office 2007.

El nuevo Visual Studio 2005 Tools for the 2007 Microsoft Office System Beta pedazo de nombre, se puede descargar desde aquí, e incluye lo siguiente:

Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Tools for the 2007 Microsoft Office System Beta (also known as “Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Office Second Edition Beta” or “VSTO 2005 SE Beta”) is an add-on to Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 that enables you to build application-level add-ins for the 2007 Microsoft Office system as well as the Microsoft Office 2003 Editions.
VSTO 2005 SE Beta features several new important investments in the area of Office programmability. Whether it’s in the revolutionized and highly extensible Office user interface, or in the support for managed add-ins in Office applications not previously covered by Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Office, there exist a number of great new opportunities and challenges for Microsoft Office solution developers. VSTO 2005 SE Beta leverages the solution development environment of Visual Studio 2005 to help you use these opportunities and challenges to take your solutions to the next level.
VSTO 2005 SE Beta also includes support for Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007 forms, previously available as a separate download for Visual Studio 2005. You can design InfoPath 2007 form solutions right in the Visual Studio 2005 environment.

Feature highlights:

• Application-level add-in projects for six applications in the 2007 Microsoft Office system: Microsoft Office Excel 2007, Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007, Microsoft Office Outlook 2007, Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007, Microsoft Office Visio 2007, and Microsoft Office Word 2007.
• Support for the new Ribbon user interface extensibility model.
• Support for the new application-level customizable task pane.
• Support for managed code behind InfoPath 2007 forms, which enables the InfoPath 2007 design environment to appear inside Visual Studio 2005 for an integrated experience across your Visual Studio projects. You can use it to design forms with or without managed code.
• Support for Outlook custom form regions.
• Application-level add-in projects for five Microsoft Office 2003 applications: Microsoft Office Excel 2003, Microsoft Office Outlook 2003, Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003, Microsoft Office Visio 2003, and Microsoft Office Word 2003.

• Visual Studio 2005 Professional
• Visual Studio 2005 Team System
• Visual Studio 2005 Tools for the Microsoft Office System
