[AccessD] VSTO and/or/vs Access 2007

Hello Stuart,

I have quickly looked through referenced article - all is correct - but the
"raw" fact is that all that was possible to do since .NET Framework 1.0
release with MS Access 2000/XP/2003 (although it needed some more manual
work) - I mean there is no something conceptually new introduced by MS
Access 2007 and .NET Framework 2.0 in the area of developing VB.NET/C# COM
Add-ins and connecting/calling them from within MS Access 2007...

Please correct me if I'm wrong...

I must say I still have to investigate what MS Office/Access 2007 Ribbon is
and how to connect custom extensions/add-ins to it...

And there is also long awaited Access 2007 Developer Extensions - what it
will be and how useful it will be in real life development - anybody here
knows that for sure?

Thank you.

Microsoft Office Access 2007 adds a new capability, making managed add-ins 
(that is, add-ins that run code created by using Microsoft Visual Studio 
2005, written in either Microsoft Visual Basic or Microsoft Visual C#) both 
possible and relatively easy to create. Now you can use professional tools 
for creating managed applications, and incorporate the rich and powerful 
functionality of the Microsoft .NET Framework. 
...
In this article, we demonstrate creating a simple add-in by using the 
Visual Studio Shared Add-in template. We provide code and instructions (in 
Visual Basic and in C#) so you can try this in the language that you 
prefer.
