Central Ohio Day of .NET - 4/18/2009 CentralOhioDoDNLogo_small

I will be delivering an "Introduction to the Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO)".  VSTO is a .NET Smart Client technology that allows you to build managed code applications with .NET languages like VB.NET and C#, and have the functionality of those applications manifest in the rich user interfaces of Microsoft Office Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Visio, Outlook, and others from the Office stack.  We will walk through multiple demos to show just how easy it is to build powerful VSTO applications, demonstrating adding controls into Excel, adding functionality to the Office 2007 Ribbon UI, and adding custom task panes.
