I know it looks a superficial question, but I really would like to know how to start developing addins for excel on Ipads. What should I download and how to install my addins into an iPad? I didn't find this on google...
I would like to introduce you the office JS add-in,
You can use the Office Add-ins platform to build solutions that extend Office applications and interact with content in Office documents. Your solution can run in Office across multiple platforms, including Windows, Mac, iPad, and in a browser.
I would recommend you to create an Office Add-in by using the Yeoman generator for Office Add-ins
You can refer to this document for sideloading your add-in solution in IPad
And debug your add-in on iPad can be found at here

We are deploying a VSTO Microsoft Office Add-in to Microsoft Excel within our organization. This application was developed in-house using a licensed copy of Visual Studio Professional. I have not had any success in finding any Terms of Use associated with VSTO office-addins / the VSTO development framework. We want to make sure we are not going to get in trouble with legal when deploying this internal app. Are these Terms of Use clearly spelled out somewhere for VSTO?
VSTO is a part of Visual Studio. There is no separate license or terms of use.
Do you know if this is possible to create a VSTO add-in for excel in an office 365 suite (on desktop, of course)?
Officially, it says it is supported.
But, if I create an empty project on VisualStudio with the default "Office 2013 & 2016 VSTO add-in", it does not load.
But, it works on other machines, with excel 2016.
Can you help me with this?
I already tried many things. And, it seems that the add-in does not even show in the list of COM add-ins in the setup menu. It's not disabled; and, if I look at the registry, the load behavior is 3.
The only strange thing that I found is that when I try to link manually the .dll file using the "add-in" menu, it says that the dll is not a valid excel add-in.
But, if I do it another way and click to the .vsto file, the explorer says that the add-in has been installed correctly..
Thanks a lot
I have written a small officeJS addin for excel which run perfectly on desktop excel client. Also office online gives an option of installing the addin from the ribbon menu. I want to do the same for microsoft sharepoint server 2016 which can be maintained centrally by an administrator. The addins options is available in office online, but not available through sharepoint, PFA image.
Try this. On a server in the farm, open the SharePoint Management Shell (PowerShell). Run this command:
Set-OfficeWebAppsFarm - OfficeAddinEnabled:$true
You probably have to be logged in as a farm administrator.
There is some documentation here: Set-OfficeWebAppsFarm
I have created a VSTO addin using word 2010 template. I am using .net 4.0.
I am interested same functionality in excel 2010 and Power point 2010. Is it possible the add in, already developed could be reuse in excel and power point 2010.
i.e the same add in will work for word 2010, excel 2010 and Powerpoint 2010. I am giving least preferance to create three addins, one for word 2010, excel 2010 and Powerpoint 2010 as the functionality of all the addin is same.
VSTO doesn't allow creating multihost add-ins. You can choose only one host per project in Visual Studio. Of course, you can create a single MSI installer for all your add-ins and deliver it as a single application. But you need to develop separate add-ins/projects in VS. Moreover, Office applications have different object models.
As an alternative way you may consider using Add-in Express which allows supporting multiple host applications in the single project.
Whether the Addin developed for MS Project 2003 will work in MS Project 2013?
Thanks in advance.
I can also confirm that COM Add Ins written for Project 2003 can work fine in Project 2007, 2010, 2013, and 2016. As noted above, the toolbar controls just move to the Add-Ins tab of the ribbon. If you launched from menu items as well as toolbar controls, those launch points will be lost, but you don't really need those if you have something on the ribbon.
All of this is predicated on using a subset of the COM Interop interface that is 'core', e.g. supported on all versions of MS Project. Microsoft tends to maintain these interfaces pretty well. They may add new stuff in later versions, but I've found that they generally don't drop the old interfaces. You will need to decide which version of the Primary Interop assemblies for building an application to be used across all these Project versions. I've seen advice that says you need to build a separate add-in binary for each version of MS Project, but I've never found a need to do that. You might be able to stick with the PIA from MS Project 2003, but I'd suggest you pick something like Project 2010 or Project 2013 Primary Interop Assemblies.
Hope this helps.
No, it won't.
There is a slim chance that the core code may run ok, but with the switch from the menu bar to the ribbon menu, any menu options presented by the 2003 plug in won't be presented as buttons on the ribbon in 2013, so I can say with certainty that part won't work.
