I'll looking forward to give a talk at McGill in Montreal this Thursday.  Here's the info:

Tournée MSDN Canada
Sujet: Building Smart Client Application using Visual Studio Tools for Office Version 2005
Conférencier: Barry Gervin, ObjectSharp

Notez que cette présentation sera donnée en anglais.

 

This session provides an overview of how you can use the Visual Studio .NET 2003 project templates provided by Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System to create Smart Client solutions that use Microsoft Office Excel 2003 and Microsoft Office Word 2003. This session will also show the value of InfoPath, how to build solutions and review many of the new features and managed code support. Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003 is a hybrid tool that combines the best of a traditional document editing experience, such as a word processor or e-mail application, with the rigorous data-capture capabilities of a forms package.

Last Monday, Julia Lerman talked a the Montreal Visual Studio User Group.  Her subject was WSE 101.  I must say that I learned quite a lot.  Julia did a fantastic introduction to security, keys and crypto stuff that you need to know before trying to figure out WSE.

There's a vulnerability with ASP.NET Forms authentification.  Check knowledge base 887459 for more information on this threat and how to implement a workaround.
