Editor's Notes
- #12: Now VSTO solutions come in two different flavors. And this is important from an architectural perspective too, because as you saw in the earlier demos most of the office stack is covered….but, not all of it.The two common models are “document-centric solutions” and “add-in” solutions. In the previous demos you have seen document centric solutions. That is, a vsto dot net application (ie: assembly) is linked to the office document itself. This means, when your user opens the document it automatically runs the assembly. What you’ll see in the coming demos are Add-in solutions. That is, your vsto application runs in the office interface itself. It runs in the menus, the toolbars etc. So, for instance your OBA runs every time you run excel as opposed to unique to a single excel document like in a document-centric solution.
