Add-in Express for Microsoft .net and Office Key benefits

• Version-independent add-ins for Office 2000 - 2010. Add-in Express provides you with version-neutral run-time, so you needn't write code for each Office version. You write the code once and have your extension work in all available Office versions (2000, 2002, 2003, 2007 and Office 2010, 32-bit and 64-bit) and Office suites (Student, Home, Standard, Professional, Professional Plus, Ultimate, Enterprise).
• Effective project architecture and coherent programming model. Add-in Express empowers you with a strong solution architecture and coherent programming model complemented by a combination of .NET components, visual designers and deployment tools that will help you avoid a nightmare of monotonous coding. Add-in Express generates ready-to-use solution templates and makes your Office solutions secure, isolated, managed, deployable and updatable with your minimal efforts.
• Outlook is a premium targeted application. Using Add-in Express components and their visual designers you can make your Outlook menus, toolbars, ribbons or certain controls context sensitive, bind them to specified folders or content types, build option and folder property pages, add navigation pane shortcuts, embed view and form regions and more.
• Advanced Outlook view and form regions offer a GUI for your Outlook plug-ins. Add-in Express gives you the Advanced Outlook Regions that are shared (you can place several forms from several add-ins into one region), version-neutral (your regions work on Office 2000 - 2010) and flexible (you can add regions for Outlook views, forms, To-Do bar, Navigation and Reading panes).
• Improved Excel extensions. With Add-in Express you can create Excel add-ins with the Advanced Office Task Panes that work for all Excel versions, effective real-time data servers with any number of RTD topics, new user-defined worksheet functions (UDFs) through Automation add-ins or XLLs.
• Any .NET controls on Office toolbars. On all versions of Outlook, Word, Excel and PowerPoint, you can place any built-in or third-party controls on Office toolbars. So, your own toolbars can contain grids, tree views, list views, user controls, forms, etc.
• Easy deployment. Each Add-in Express solution contains a setup project with all necessary prerequisites. Add-in Express supports several technologies and installation types to deploy and redeploy your solutions: Windows Installer projects, ClickOnce publishing and Msi-based web-deployment.
• True RAD tool. Finally, you use visual designers and components of Add-in Express instead of error-prone coding and have your development time cut.
