VSTO Support for Excel Schema Mapping
Conclusion
This chapter explored the XML schema mapping feature of Excel. You have learned how to create a schema using Visual Studio that will work well with Excel's schema mapping features. This chapter also covered VSTO's support for Excel schema mapping and how to layer on top of an XML schema mapping VSTO's data binding features. The next chapter examines Word's model for XML, which is quite different from the Excel model.
