Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System provides developers the tools and technologies they need to build the next generation of solutions for the Microsoft Office System. Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System includes:

• Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System, bringing the power and productivity of Visual Studio .NET and the .NET Framework to business solutions built on Microsoft Office Word 2003 and Microsoft Office Excel 2003. Developers can use Visual Studio .NET or the included Visual Basic .NET to build powerful business solutions where Word and Excel are the user interface.
• Microsoft Office Access 2003 Developer Extensions, providing a set of tools for Access solution developers that can reduce the amount of work required in building Access solutions and streamline the production and deployment environment. The Developer Extensions also include a royalty-free Access Runtime license enabling distribution of Access 2003 solutions.
• Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition, making it possible for developers to build powerful database solutions and develop and test their solutions thoroughly before deploying them to the enterprise.
• Microsoft Visual Basic .NET Standard Edition, for the programmer who wants to learn the Visual Basic language by constructing applications for Windows and the Web.

• Bring .NET Framework-based development to Word- and Excel-based business solutions: Use Visual Studio .NET or the included Visual Basic .NET to build powerful business solutions where Microsoft Office Word 2003 and Microsoft Office Excel 2003 are the user interface. Quickly create Visual Basic .NET and Visual C# .NET code to enforce business logic and control user interface and data in Word documents and Excel workbooks.
• Build Microsoft Office solutions in the familiar Visual Studio environment: Use the full range of Visual Studio designers to create rich Windows Forms, to work with data, XML and Web services, and to minimize the coding associated with building business logic components. Easily incorporate all of these into Word- and Excel-based solutions.
• Simplify deployment and maintenance of secure Microsoft Office solutions: Use XCOPY deployment, auto-download and evidence-based and role-based security features in Word and Excel solutions built with Visual Studio.
• Distribute royalty-free Access 2003 solutions: Distribute Microsoft Access solutions to users without Access 2003 - including solutions that use Microsoft Jet database or Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine.
• Make development and distribution of Access solutions easier than ever: The Package Wizard using Windows Installer technology help developers create professional setup routines for Access solutions. The Property Scanner Add-In and the Custom Startup Wizard help reduce development time and testing obstacles to produce higher-quality solutions.
• Get started building applications with Visual Basic .NET: Get started building applications for Microsoft Windows and the Web with the easiest Microsoft development tool. Become immediately productive with Visual Basic .NET. Use the familiar constructs, syntax, and semantics of the Visual Basic language.
