  Hello Everyone, Could you please feed me with the following info: 1> Is it possible to use MS Office tools with Visual Studio 2003 2> Is it possible to use IBF with VS2005 There is a version of Visual Studio Tools for Office that works with VS 2003--it is called Visual Studio Tools for Office 2003.  It has a lot less features than VSTO 2005, but it does allow you to associate managed code (CLR 1.1) with Word and Excel documents.

• Visual Basic ActiveX Control Size method

  Hi, I'm upgrading an application from VB6 to VB2005. I'm using an ActiveX control which can't be easily replaced and there is a problem with a method in that control called Size. Basically the designer creates a bit of code like: Me .AxLEAD1.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(315, 307) where obviously it is trying to set the Size of the control, however that ActiveX control also has a Size method which does something different (resizes a bitmap). So it brings up an error that size doesn't have the write number of parameters if I click on it it opens the .designer.vb file. I have tried commenting it out but the designer puts it back again.
