Which COM I should pick?

[Guest]

Hello, friends,

I need to implement MS Word and Excel in our .net (2005) app. I found the
following related items in the COM list when I tried to add reference.

Microsoft Excel 11.0 Object Library
Microsoft Office 11.0 Object Library
Microsoft Office Control 1.0 Type Library
Microsfot Office Runtime 1.0 Type Library


I thought I should use Microsoft Excel 11.0 Object Library and Microsoft
Word 11.0 Object Library, but I could not find the Microsoft Word 11.0 Object
Library in the COM list.

Help please, and any reference papers? Thanks a lot.

Do you have Word installed on the machine? Are you looking on the [COM] tab
when you bring up the Add Reference dialog?

Take a look at using VSTO (Visual Studio Tools for Office). Luckily,
VSTO is this month's Microsoft DevCares topic in various cities in the
US. Go to www.devcares.com if you want to attend (it's free). I am
presenting the event in Louisville this Friday.
