This course is designed for developers who want to develop document-based solutions for Microsoft Word 2003 or Microsoft Excel 2003, or add-ins for most Microsoft Office 2003 and Microsoft Office 2007 products. You’ll learn about the types of solutions you can create with Visual Studio Tools for Office, understand how to work with the Office object models, find out how to create your own user interface through Windows forms or the task pane, learn about deploying your solutions to end-user computers, and much more.

In this course, you will learn to:

Create add-ins and document-based solutions for Office.
Know which products and components need to be installed on both development and end-user computers to create and use Office solutions.
Use the .NET Framework to save coding time.
Understand the Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook object models and how they mirror the interactive environment.
React to events triggered by the Office user.
Perform Office-related tasks such as sending an email or building a spreadsheet through code.
Translate Office programming concepts between Visual Basic and C#
Use data in your Word and Excel solutions.
Deploy your solutions to an end-user computer

Prerequisites: This course is designed for developers who have a programming background and are familiar with .NET concepts and the Visual Studio IDE. Previous experience with VBA in Office solutions can be helpful, but is not required. Most examples are presented in Visual Basic, but a C# topic is included to help C# developers translate the concepts to their language of choice, and to give Visual Basic developers the tools they need to read and understand examples available from other sources that are presented in C#.
