  • Non-proxiable Types: A Deeper Look

    One of the most common questions we see when someone begins an integration is why can't System.Windows.Forms and objects derived from that class be exposed to add-ins.  Our typical answer is that System.Winows.Forms is not serializable and only serializable objects can pass through (or be exposed through) the proxy layer.  The SDK for ...

    Eli,    Yes, VSTA may be integrated into unmanaged console applications.  Check out our COMClient example, for a simple VB6 console integration example.  For a C# console example check out our updated TestCon example.  I hope this helps, please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, -Melody
