Summary

You have seen many examples of how VSTO makes it easy to visualize your back-end business data on the client machine using Office. This allows users to work in a comfortable environment using the data at the right time, in the right place, and in the right context. Users don’t need to task switch between Outlook, Excel, or any other Office application they work in during the day to handle their business processes and make important and informed decisions. VSTO enables you, the application developer, to do things with Office that before would have been too difficult, time consuming, or impossible to achieve.
