  Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO) was released in August of 2003. It

  brought the power of .NET to developing Word and Excel applications. While

  powerful, it was also lacking in some key features, and difficult to use. VSTO

  2005 will be released as part of the Whidbey release. It will be incorporated in

  the more advanced versions of Visual Studio .NET 2005, and will also be

  available as a stand-alone product. It has corrected many of the major problems

  with the first version, and is poised to experience a rapid growth in usage.

  Coverage has been expanded to include Outlook and InfoPath in addition to

  Word and Excel. This book is not only written by key members of the team

  that developed VSTO 2005, but it will also be the first book available on

  VSTO. The authors provide both an introduction to VSTO as well as a tutorial

  for using it, including lots of practical examples, and a refreshing honesty about

  both the strengths and pitfalls of the technology. This book will be a must-have

  for all the developers considering VSTO.
