This document summarizes a presentation about using Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO) for developing solutions that integrate with Microsoft Office applications like Excel, Word, and Outlook. It discusses key aspects of VSTO like application-level vs document-level projects, the ribbon designer, automating tasks with SQL Server and web services, and deploying VSTO solutions. The presentation aims to explain what VSTO is, how it works, and provide examples of using it with different Office applications.

- 4. Opiniões 1. Microsoft has stopped developing Visual Basic (classic) in 1999 and has spent huge effort on building .Net framework. since then Microsoft is promoting .Net Framework and C# as the primary language of choice. Visual Basic .Net is equally good and can used if you are already an expert in classic VB. 2. Microsoft “is planning “to retire VBA?. Office 2003 came with Scripting Engine based on Javascript (not successful) and since then promoting the use of VSTO and Office PIAs in .Net. 3. Starting Office 2007, standard formats of Excel doesn't support embedding macros. Formats that support Macros and VBA projects only run of located at Trusted locations or when security is lowered below recommended levels. 4. Starting Office 2007, the VBA environment runs in the compatibility mode and having several issues when dynamically invoking methods from the embedded VBA projects. 5. It is very clear future versions of Office will not support VBA. However, I don't know which will be the last version supporting VBA (2012, 2015?). 6. One has to seriously think about investing their time in learning VBA, when it is going away soon. It is getting very difficult to find junior VBA developers.
