Author: Hi, I am Daniel Moth Introduction: Learn how to program Custom Task Panes and the Actions Pane. If you are a managed developer (e.g. Windows Forms) then you'll find that you already have the skills for extending Microsoft Office applications with your code. Visual Studio 2008 makes it really easy and that is what I demonstrate in this 14' video. For other resources, start at my blog post here.

Hi Syed
Please accept my apologies for this.
The Microsoft download servers are experiencing some difficulties which are under investigation . I have reported this issue and expect it to be resolved tomorrow. Ping me directly if it isn't.
Cheers

Daniel,
First of all, thank you for your videos - they have been very beneficial to me.
Would it be possible to use an action pane to insert a data bound Content Control onto a document? What I have in mind is a list of buttons on the Action pane (e.g. Name, Address, Phone, etc.) When the button is clicked it would insert a data bound content control that ties back to a customXML file. Using this model, my users could create whatever document thay like and insert values wherever they like and I can populate those documents using XML files. Example:
Dear <<FirstNameContentControlHere>>,
Thanks again!!!

Hi Chip
Thanks. Sorry, I don't have the answer to your question, but posting at the VSTO forums will take you further:
