Office Web Components 11 (Office 2003)

[aaapaul]

Where can I find any documentation/samples about programming the
Office Web Components 2003.

Thanks

specific OWC11 documentation is rather scarce for obvious reasons. The good
news is that the model has not changed that much so documentation and code
for the office OWC10 product is portable to OWC11. You may want to download
the office component toolpack to get started on examples, or go to this link
for walkthrus and code examples:

Alvin,

what would the obvious reasons you refer to possibly be ?

ha ha. i was hoping to get away with that statement. Anyway, as you've
probably noticed, documentation on the OWC venture is in rather short
supply. There is pattern of lack of documentation which extends from OWC 9
to OWC 10. In keeping with that 'theme', there is not a lot of documentation
for OWC11. In fact, I haven't really seen any. So it is consistently obvious
that documentation will not be provided for OWC11 and future products unless
something drastic happens.

This is all my opinion by the way. I am not a employee of microsoft so my
statements should not confer any rights or responsibilities.

Does that make sense?

Thank you Alvin for your insight and reflection.

I find it hard to understand, why OWC-support is rather poor..

Kind regards,

H.G. Lamy

I went to the Dallas Office 2003 Launch and attended the developer
breakout sessions, hoping to find info on OWC for 2003 - the Microsoft
developer that was hosting these sessions had no idea what I was talking
about when Iasked about OWC.

Quite interesting...

No, it's not. That happened to me last year as well for OWC10. Go figure.
