Visual Studio Tools for Applications
Next Generation of Application Customization - Visual Studio Tools for Applications Microsoft is changing the landscape for application customization with the recent release of Visual Studio Tools for Applications (VSTA) CTP. Microsoft has supported more than 350 independent software vendors (ISVs) and 8 million developers with extensibility through Visual Basic for Applications for the past nine years. VSTA will build on that success by enabling ISVs to integrate and distribute the latest Visual Studio 2005 technology with their applications. And productivity is increased through VSTA’s development environment. VSTA is available as part of the Visual Studio SDK and includes documents, whitepapers, help topics, sample applications, and a redistributable IDE based on Visual Studio 2005. Commercial availability of VSTA is scheduled for later this year and will include licensing options for redistribution. VSTA will also ship with Microsoft Office InfoPath 12, where it will enable Office developers to write managed add-ins for InfoPath in either Visual Basic or C#. |
