VSTO and Office 2003

VS2005 may arrive before Office 12, as it's in Beta already.

How about VSTO 2005. Do they arrive the same time or will they arrive after or at the same time as Office 12

If they come with VS2005 will they support Office 2003 applications (VBA/Access)

If they not arrive the same time: Will there be problems using VS2005 with .NET Framework 2.0 beside .NET Framework 1.1 used in older version

TIA
Henry

    Hi Henry:

    Visual Studio 2005 Tools for the Microsoft Office System (VSTO 2005) will be released at the same time Visual Studio 2005 is released. It will contain support for Excel, Word and InfoPath.

    VSTO 2005 will require Visual Studio 2005, Office Professional 2003 (or Excel 2003 standalone or Word 2003 standalone), and the .NET Framework 2.0.

    Hope this helps!

    Thanks!

    Hi

    There are various .NET projects on www.gotdotnet.com and the likes that will ease .NET development with Outlook. I know the VSTO team are looking at various other improvements to make a great delivery mechanism for .NET developers and Office 2003.

    VSTO 2005 is designed to work with Office 2003. If you have existing solutions running on the Framework 1.1 and new solutions running on the Framework 2.0, they should work side-by-side. It would be better to upgrade older solutions to VSTO 2005, though.

    Hi Mike,
    what about Outlook It's the most used Office application (probably more than Excel and Word) but you never mention it. I hope you will not forget it :-)
