My step-by-step Excel 2007 VSTO add-in tutorial has been growing quite a bit, and Dennis Wallentin, in his great wisdom, suggested that a table of contents would be a useful addition. Here it is – I will update this page as I keep adding to the tutorial.
Part 1: displaying worksheets in a TreeView within a Custom Task Pane

2. Using the Custom Task Pane
3. Using the Ribbon
4. Adding a WPF control
5. Displaying open workbooks & worksheets in a TreeView
6. Using Excel events to update the TreeView

Code sample for part 1
Part 2: finding differences between worksheets
This second part focuses on reading the contents of worksheets to identify their differences, and on building a WPF user interface in the Task Pane, using the MVVM pattern, to navigate between the differences and highlight them.
8. Binding to Commands to navigate to Cells
9. Reading the values and formulas from worksheets
10. Use a WPF converter to display differences
Code sample for part 2
