Re: VBA and VSTO

Hi Chip,

I mean, I developped in VBA, and I don't want to spend to much time to set
my code in vb.net. Is the language comparable or do I have to learn a lot
(and debug a lot) to get my code back in vb?

I never used VB.NET! I assume you mean I cannot copy and paste my code from
vba to vb.net.

Assuming you know VB.NET,

1. Is my code in VBA in a high level portable to the new platform

Only you can answer that question.

2. Can I compile the project to an executable stand-alone file (.exe) so
I am not dependent to what the user have installed of dll's

With VTSO, you end up with a workbook and a managed code DLL.

3. Does it work with all versions of Office (starting with 2000)

No. 2003 only.

Hi,

since I have serious problems in VBA, I consider to migrate to VSTO. I
have some questions about that, in order of importance:

1. Is my code in VBA in a high level portable to the new platform
2. Can I compile the project to an executable stand-alone file (.exe) so
I am not dependent to what the user have installed of dll's
3. Does it work with all versions of Office (starting with 2000)

Thanks for your help.

PS my big problem in VBA is the difference of the mso.dll (mso9.dll for
office 2000) of the different office versions, which causes a crash on
startup when I build up my menu-bar. Recompilation on the specific excel
version solves the problem, but then I have to maintain at least 3
versions (2000, XP and 2003). Even subversions (Service Packs and minor
upgrades cause those commilation problems so I cannot keep that much
versions).
