using VSTO w/ ASP.Net 2.0

Hi,

Newbie using VSTO and developing office applications. The task is to import and export data from and to database, but user can select from a list columns what they want to add, there will be a dialog will appear and allow user to select data to be included in a word document, how can this be done I installed PIA, VSTO2005SE w/ runtime, MS Office 2003 Web Components and will use MS Office 2003 (ver 11.0.7969.0) with ASP.Net 2.0. I tried some links and cannot find Actions Pane Control. What Am I missing Can anyone point me to some sample codes or resources to do this

Thanks in advanced.

Hi Cindy,

    Thanks for the reply. You are saying there is no Action Pane Control in VSTO2005 SE and need full version of VSTO2005 and with Action Pane Control I could accomplished what I described. Right or need custom task pane to do this which is available with Office 2007 So, using Office 2007 I need VSTO2005 for Office 2007 too How about using xml to do this Loading data to xml and let word read the xml and display it. I found some links which is not clear how this can be done.

Thanks for info Cindy.

You mentioned I could use the xml approach, would I be able to fill dialog box or command bar to have drag down list of database columns and drop it to the word document. Is this possible or need VSTO to do that

Do I need VSTO when using SmartDocument SDK and how exactly I would use in this sdk to accomplish this task

Thanks.

Hi,

Do anyone knows a link where I could download an evaluation copy of Full VSTO 2005 My supervisor wants to evaluate this software if it is needed.

Thanks.

Thanks Cindy for info.

Another question, is there problem using vsto with ms office 2003 sp2 installed rather what document specified ms office 2003 sp1

 I think the bosses here might decide to purchase the full version of VSTO, but don't know why, is there volume licensing for this that say for 5 users that would be cheaper than (5 X US $ 799)

Dennis 

Thanks Cindy..

Updates for both VSTO and Office or just for Office 2003. I need to clarify would I be able to create at all custom action panes using VSTO 2005 Full version with office 2003 or need VSTO 2005 for Office 2007 and Office 2007 The task I mentioned at start of this thread

 And do you know link or list of all updates need to install, I may be missed one of them.

Thanks Cindy.

My co-wroker here is trying on a VBA approach to this same task, is it possible to do this in VBA, drag and down effect

Dennis

Drag and Drop effect, there is a dialog-like control floating when you open a word application inside this box are one of things are a list of database columns of a particular table, and when drag one of the item and drop the selected item inside the word, there is data will appear depends on certain filters. Preferably you can place this item anywhere in the word document.

Thanks for Cindy, having patience answering my questions.
