Visual Basic .Net 2003 Standard Addition

[Ken]

I bought Visual Basic .Net 2003 standard addition intending to use it with
Visio pro 2003. Trying Visio’s tutorial (Viso’s tutorial says it is for
VB.Net) but find out “Extensibillity Projects†are not supported in the
standard version. I suspect, I won’t be able to do any more with .Net than I
can with VBA. What is the minimum .net platform that can be used to develop
custom Visio applications? Does anyone know of any tutorials for using the
standard addition of Visual Basic .net with Visio?

I have to admit that I am not working with the standard version and was
unaware that it did not support extensibility projects. Is there some reason
that vb.net does not support native applications using the visio drawing
activex control? The interface using the activex control is a great deal
like the vba interface and you should be able to use many of the example
pieces of code in the v2003 sdk. John Marshall has some good reference
documents listed on his site (www.mvps.org/visio)

Thank you for responding. I checked out the sight you recommended, but was
unable to find any .net code. For someone wanting to learn it looks like they
should invest in at lease the professional addition, because it’s required
for most of the examples I’ve found.

John has references to books that can help you understand the visio model
which is very heavily dependent on the shapesheet. Examples (vb, c#, and
..net) are in the library section of the visio sdk. There are also tutorials
in the sdk.
