Hello,
According to the following article, using VSTO 2005 SE offers advantages
over using the out of the box Shared Add In project template (stated about
3/4 of the way down the document in the "Using COM Add-ins to Modify the
Fluent UI" section):
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms406046.aspx
"Among other advantages, add-ins that you create by using Visual Studio 2005
Tools for Office Second Edition run in separate application domains, and the
programming model for these add-ins is simpler, and more maintainable, than
that used by the shared add-in template."
This is just a general statement. I am wondering the "why" behind each of
these statements. For example, why is VSTO more maintainable? What
advantages does running under a separate application domain have?
I am also intersted in finding out the disadvantages of using VSTO vs the
Shared Add In template. One I can think of off the bat is that it requires
the download and installation of a separate SDK. Any others?
TIA
Brian
