Krypton Toolkit is a free set of user interface controls for .NET2. There’s not a whole lot of information on the site about the product(s), but i think they are trying to offer Office like controls, (2003 and 07). Might come in handy some time!

Love those ribbons…
This is the first video I’ve ever done, still need to work out a few things and I sound a bit different than in real life. This is a very simple example of how to set up worksheet protection. Take a look!
Ok, ok here are some videos about VSTO (…emmmm, 2005 SE…)
First is from Andrew Whitechapel and is an example of how easy it is to do something very basic?!. Then it shows some nice solutions. At 6 mins long it does very little to help anyone understand anything, and it’s in c# of course.
The next little snip bit is form a MS site “The Visual Side”. Happily it only works with IE (ha!). Now again this is quite pants, but the interesting thing is at the end, listen if you can bare it, to the bit where Eric Carter talks about the new a more exciting version of VSTO (Orca ? Arcas)… god charm down, 2005 SE only just shipped
Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Office for the 2007
Now I’m not criticizing either of these two chaps both of whom have written good books and host blogs with good content, but maybe MS should focus their efforts on making more meaningful and worthwhile content… writing help files that are helpful, oh and i don’t know getting MSDN content that is decent…
Now this is a useful link
