ServerDocument Sample
Note
This sample runs only in Microsoft Office Excel 2007 and Microsoft Office Word 2007.
This sample tool provides a graphical user interface and a command-line interface that enable you to view and modify a Visual Studio Tools for Office document's _AssemblyLocation property as described in Custom Document Properties Overview. This tool also enables you to view and modify data that is cached in the document.
The application manifest contains information that is used at run time or design time to describe the solution that is associated with a document. The application manifest is accessible through the ServerDocument object, which provides an API for working with the application manifest. This sample tool uses that API to enable you to view and modify the application manifest and data cached in a Visual Studio Tools for Office solution document.
