I'm trying to find out how can I write Excel AddIn in C#.
I have VS 2003 and Excel 2003 installed on Windows 2000 machine.
After reading through some posts all I figured out is I need to have
Office Resource Kit and VSTO 2003 installed on my machine before I
start writing my C# AddIn's in Excel 2003.

Please let me know what is the exact requirement and from where can I
download (Office Resource Kit and VSTO 2003).
Do we have some post or threads , which I can go through as an example
for writing Excel AddIn's using C#.

Thanks,
MV

Hello vij,

here is a good startingpoint I think.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/office/understanding/vsto/codesamples/default.aspx

VSTO in Visual Studio 2003 are only a couple of Projecttemplates.
So, if you have a Visual Studio 2003 Enterprise Architect the Templates are
already there. Open Visual Studio and create a new project, look for "other"
projecttypes, extensions and "Shared AddIn".
Then you create a COM-AddIn for the Office Application you want. There are a
couple of traps when you want to create a COM AddIn for Office from a managed
world. So I recommend to use Visual Studio 2005 and VSTO 2005.

hope this helps,
