We had a great time at last nights meeting.  I presented on the Office XP PIAs.  The presentation focused on automating Microsoft Word and Excel.  The examples as well as the presentation slides are available here.  Examples are provided in VB.NET and C#.  Refer to the readme file that is included on how to run the examples.   This presentation comes on the heels of an earlier post on this subject.

Newest Sponsor:

A representative from our newest sponsor, Wintellect was on had to give a way an autographed copy of  Debugging Applications for .NET and Windows, by Wintellect author John Robbins.  Several speakers from Wintellect will be presenting at future events.  More details on the speakers to come.

Our February and March meeting topic is Design Patterns in C#, by Steve Metsker of Captech Ventures.  Steve presented at last year's (2002) Java One conference.  These two meetings will be hands on.

Book Reviews:

Book reviews from our group members are available here.  Books are given out at each of our meetings from O'Reilly and Sams, two of our sponsors.

We have a great line up for the first half of next year.  Can't wait to get there!
