Create Microsoft Office Applications

Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO) is now fully integrated into Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition. Developers can now easily target the more than 500 million users of Microsoft Office while using the same managed code skills that they've developed for writing Microsoft Windows applications or ASP.NET applications. Visual Studio enables developers to customize Word, Excel®, PowerPoint, Outlook, Visio®, InfoPath®, and Project to improve user productivity and take advantage of the many improvements in the 2007 Microsoft Office system. Visual Studio 2008 enables developers to perform tasks such as:

·         Target the breadth of the new 2007 Microsoft Office system

o   Developers can use the tools in Visual Studio to create both application level and document level managed code customizations behind 2007 Office system applications quickly and easily. Visual Studio's built-in visual designers for key 2007 Office system UI features provide developers with a RAD development experience and enables them to deliver applications with a high-quality Office-based UI.

·         Build applications that target Microsoft Office SharePoint Server

o   Visual Studio simplifies the task of building and debugging SharePoint Workflow projects, and also enables developers to build applications that provide easy access to back-end data stores and to data from enterprise systems such as SAP, CRM and ERP. Web Parts built for SharePoint are easily reusable in other applications.

·         Develop Microsoft Office-based UI workflow solutions

o   Easily incorporate key Microsoft Office UI elements, including the Fluent Ribbon and Custom Task Panes, and integrate SharePoint Workflow Services into Visual Studio solutions. Developers can create applications that use Microsoft Office to manage process navigation and enterprise data surfacing, combined with SharePoint workflow services to manage collaboration requirements.

·         Deploy applications securely and easily

o   Developers now have an easy to use and version resilient security model for their applications that will be compatible with future versions of Visual Studio and Office. With full support for ClickOnce deployment of all Office customizations and applications, developers and administrators now have the right tools and framework for easy deployment and maintenance of their Office solutions. This greatly simplifies the process of creating and deploying new solutions based on the 2007 Office system.

Top Open Source Web-Based Project Management Software

This is an user contributed article. Project management software is not just for managing software based project. It can be used for variety of other tasks too. The web-based software must provide tools for planning, organizing and managing resources to achieve project goals and objectives. A web-based project management software can be accessed through an intranet or WAN / LAN using a web browser. You don't have to install any other software on the system. The software can be easy of use with access control features (multi-user). I use project management software for all of our projects (for e.g. building a new cluster farm) for issue / bug-tracking, calender, gantt charts, email notification and much more. Obviously I'm not the only user, the following open source software is used by some of the biggest research organizations and companies world wild. For example, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory uses track software or open source project such as lighttpd / phpbb use re

My organization went through the approval process of supporting the .NET Framework 2.0 in production. Do we need to go through the same process all over again for the .NET Framework 3.0? Do I need to do any application compatibility testing for my .NET Framework 2.0 applications? Because the .NET Framework 3.0 only adds new components to the .NET Framework 2.0 without changing any of the components released in the .NET Framework 2.0, the applications you've built on the .NET Framework 2.0 will not be affected. You don’t need to do any additional testing for your .NET Framework 2.0 applications when you install the .NET Framework 3.0.
