hi

I'm using officeconvert for some document format conversion work and I
tried to compile it's source with visual studio express edition to look if
I could add it an special functionality. when I tried to do it I couldn't,
at the end I discovered that the reason is that this software was developed
using a visual studio extension which only comes with the non-free (as in
beer) editions of visual studio (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_Studio_Tools_for_Office#VSTO_compatibility_and_add-in_functionality
).
After looking a bit in the web I found that there is a library which could
make a replacement to vsto:
https://netoffice.codeplex.com/

which it (and some minor code changes) I have been capable of building
officeconvert with monodevelop which makes more comfortable and free the
process of development of the software.

attached to this mail is the project, if you want to compile it you have to
download netoffice and add this assemblies:
ExcelApi.dll
NetOffice.dll
OfficeApi.dll
PowerPointApi.dll
WordApi.dll

using netoffice makes the software independent from the installed office
version as an added benefit so you don't need multiple specific builds of
the software

feel free to take it and do as you wish

best regards
