NET Framework especially people interested in VSTO programming.” -Rufus Littlefield, software design engineer/tester, Microsoft Corporation “This book will help Office. I would recommend it to anyone considering doing Office development using the. Hui, test lead, Microsoft Corporation “This book is both a learning tool and a reference book, with a richness of tables containing object model objects and their properties, methods, and events. This book walks you through programming Excel, Word, and Outlook solutions.” -Vernon W. NET, along with the ability to tap into Office programmability.
Professional programmers will love the rich power of Visual Studio and. Congratulations to Eric Lippert and Eric Carter for such a valuable work!” -Tim Huckaby, CEO, InterKnowlogy Microsoft Regional Director “Eric Carter and Eric Lippert really get it. NET developer who has focused on ASP.NET applications for years. It is thorough, has tons of example code, and covers Office programming in general terms-topics that can be foreign to the seasoned. NET Framework features, in the UI your users are familiar with.” -Robert Green, senior consultant, MCW Technologies “With the application development community so focused on the Smart Client revolution, a book that covers VSTO from A to Z is both important and necessary. After reading it, you’ll know everything needed to begin building solutions that take advantage of the. Eric Carter and Eric Lippert helped create VSTO, so they know as much about it as anybody, making this book a must-have. There are millions of people who use Office applications all day, every day with VSTO, you can create applications for them. These smaller diameter fiberscopes, ranging from 2 mm to 6 mm, generally have limited tip deflection capability (one-way or two-way) and smaller working channels.Praise for Visual Studio Tools for Office 2007 “Visual Studio Tools for Office has always been one of my favorite technologies to come out of Microsoft. Consequently, the second and third most popular flexible endoscopes in small animal practice are small-diameter fiberscopes that are used primarily for endoscopy of the airways and urinary tract ( Figure 1-5 ). Because most gastroscopes have an outer diameter of 7.8 mm or greater, they cannot be used in smaller dogs and cats for such procedures as bronchoscopy, rhinoscopy, and urethrocystoscopy. A gastroscope less than 9 mm in diameter and at least 130 cm in length is suitable for both upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy in most cats and dogs, as well as tracheobronchoscopy in medium and large size dogs. The tip’s two-plane deflection capability (i.e., up, down, left, and right) is crucial to the successful navi- gation of the gastrointestinal tract, particularly in the most challenging maneuvers through the pylorus and ileocolic orifice. Because of their versatility, the most popular endoscopes in small animal practice are gastroscopes, which have four-way tip deflection. The working channel is the section of the endoscope through which ancillary instruments like biopsy forceps ( Figure 1-4 ) are advanced into the patient. Most flexible scopes greater than 2 mm in diameter are equipped with a n accessory chan- nel and a deflectable tip. Flexible endoscopes are available in diameters ranging from 14 mm to less than 1 mm. The features of fiberscopes and video endoscopes are compared in Table 1-1. Because the image produced by a video endoscope is not fiberoptic, it will never contain the honeycomb pattern or broken fibers seen as black dots inĪ fiberoptic image. Although fiberscopes are less expensive than video endo- scopes, the cost of the latter has recently come down and the image quality of video endoscopes is far superior to that of fiberscopes ( Figure 1-3 ). Until the technologic limitations on the miniaturization of CCD chips are overcome, the production of very small diameter video endoscopes is not feasible. The smallest flexible video endo- scopes currently available for medical use are approximately 5 or 6 mm in outer diameter, depending on chip technology and mechanical functions, such as channel size and deflec- tion capability.
Fortunately, the combination of a good quality video camera and fiberoptic endoscope can provide very good images. Although true video endoscopes are preferred for superior visualization in gastrointestinal endoscopy, CCD video cameras are still necessary for use with rigid endo- scopes (e.g., laparoscopes and arthroscopes), as well as smaller diameter fiberscopes. Video endoscopy can be accomplished by attaching an endoscopic CCD video cam- era to the eyepiece of a fiberscope or rigid endoscope (see “Endoscopic Imaging Systems” later in this chapter, Figure 1-25 ).
