Now that .NET 4 and VS 2010 are out, at least in Beta, I thought it would be a good time to show off some of the new features that are applicable to Office development. In this second (see the first one here) screencast I will cover a new feature of Visual Studio 2010 for Office PIA (Primary Interop Assembly) references. You can now Embed the needed references directly into your executable so there is no longer a need for the PIAs to be on the client machine!
