We are trying to determine if it is possible to import a workflow directly from Visio to Visual Studio without using SharePoint Designer. A comment here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vsarch/thread/92095335-3ac5-4568-b87d-bc17d147cb11 indicates that the UML versions of Visio and Visual Studio do not match. Is this still the case?
Would we be able to use Visio 2013 to go directly from Visio to Visual Studio? If this can be done, does anyone have the steps to do so?
Thank you in advance.

Is it possible to build a Custom Task Pane for Excel 2007 or 2010 without Visual Studio, that is, using only VBA?
I found this other question but it's not working for me.
I think, as of now, the answer to your question is "No".
As far as I can tell, extending any Office application (Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) with a Custom Task Pane / Application Pane requires a COM add-in, that needs to be developed with Visual Studio.
At least for Office 2007, this article (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa338197%28v=office.12%29.aspx) specifically states that:
(..) custom task panes are deployed as Component Object Model (COM)
add-ins (..)
The same article states that VBA does not support creating such custom task panes.
You can create custom task panes in any language that supports COM and
that enables you to create dynamic-linked library (DLL) files, for
example, Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0, Microsoft Visual Basic .NET,
Microsoft Visual C++, Microsoft Visual C++ .NET, and Microsoft Visual
C. However, Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) does not
support creating custom task panes. Custom task panes use other
technologies with which you are already familiar, for example,
Microsoft ActiveX controls.
This article shows how to create a custom task pane with C# or VB in VS2013: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa942846.aspx
All in all, this article (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb398242.aspx) states that you need Microsoft Office Developer Tools for developing office solutions, which is only bundled with
Visual Studio Professional
Visual Studio Premium
Visual Studio Ultimate
If you only have VBA available it seems like your are stuck with the original User Forms for now.
I'm looking the same question.
I "think" the only way to make CTP is through VS.
And only way to make in VBA is with userFrom instead of custom task pane.
I'm looking for some user guide about Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO) specially oriented to Excel Add-ins programming.
I have installed Visual Studio 2013 and Microsoft Office 2013 on my computer.
Do you know about some user guide, tutorial or manual preferably in PDF about VSTO?.
Best regards!
The Excel Solutions section in MSDN provides all the required information. I'd suggest starting from the Walkthrough: Creating Your First Application-Level Add-in for Excel article.
Sharepoint designer 2013 does not support Design view in edit mode. Microsoft says you can use Visual Studio to edit pages. Does Visual Studio allow you to use Design View?
No. Visual Studio does not have design view for SharePoint master pages.
With SharePoint 2013 you can convert HTML to masterpage using design manager and nowadays latest browsers have evolved as designer tools.
Please refer this blog for further reference

Only Visual Webparts in Visual Studio have the design view !
I have a requirement that i need to create an infopath 2010 form using visual studio 2010.
can any one show mw the way to create that?
Thanks,
Suresh
A requirement? Wierd requirement... You can not create InfoPath 2010 Forms with Visual Studio. You were able to work on InfoPath 2007 Forms with Visual Studio but this possibility is gone with InfoPath 2010.
The code behind from InfoPath from forms can only be edited using the InfoPath built in Visual Studio Tools for Applications.
Is there any updated version of SPSource: Reverse engineering tool for SharePoint or alternative tool for SharePoint 2010?
Visual Studio 2010, preferrably with the Community Kit for SharePoint Developer Tools. This allows you to browse in the Server Explorer down to your list, content type or fields, and you can right click and 'import' them into your Visual Studio project. This then shows you the CAML used to define those items.
Another alternative is SharePoint manager - it also exposes the XML used to define those elements - but I find the Visual Studio tools more useful, 'cos generally I want to do something with those lists/content types.
Even without the Community Kit, you can still import List definitions with just Visual Studio, I think.
for sharepoint 2010 You can contact the author, Jeremy Thake, directly and ask if there are any updates. His blog: http://wss.made4the.net/default.aspx and Twitter: #jthake
You should also look into tools like ShaerPoint Manager 2010. Your other cool option is to create a list in the UI, then save the entire site as a WSP. You can then import the WSP in Visual Studio, and get the components you want from there
