The book is especially written for enterprise developers - VBA or
COM Interop savvy - who need to leverage the power and
productivity of VSTO today. .NET developers seeking to explore
VSTO as a potential solution will also find ample material that
suits their needs.

This book covers VSTO 2005 in detail. The approach focuses on the
major components that form the suite with the exception that
InfoPath is not covered. All other components benefit from an
exploration of the key objects that are most likely to be used in
common programming scenarios. This book is organized into
chapters that present the building blocks of VSTO first.
Microsoft Excel and its Range objects form the cornerstone of
range manipulation across the VSTO suite. For that reason, the
first few chapters explain these basic concepts. Subsequent
chapters use these building blocks as a starting point so it is
important to be familiar with these concepts before skipping to
the back of the book.

Once you gain a complete understanding of the Excel Range object
in Chapters 2 and 3, you can apply that knowledge to the
remaining chapters. In fact, Microsoft Word, Charts and Pivot
Table manipulation are all based on the Excel Range object. (VSTO
contains a potent charting engine second to none. And this book
explores every facet of charting.) The obvious benefit of this
clever architecture is that it significantly reduces the learning
curve for those who wish to adopt this relatively new technology.
And this book is designed to show you how to exploit this
architecture.
