Victor Feintuch and I have created a new DsoFramer Enahcments Workspace over on GotDotNet for enhancements to Microsoft's DsoFramer control. Victor has already made some enhancements by fixing an event bug for events generated by hosted Office applications. We also plan to list known issues, workarounds, samples, etc., for community benefit. The DsoFramer control is an ActiveX sample provided by Microsoft that allows you to host instances of Office applications inside your ActiveX-capable application, including Windows Forms.

Since Microsoft has dropped the ActiveDocumentHost control from Windows Forms 2.0, this is your only real option of hosting Office applications inside of your applications today and into the near future. If you would like to see the ActiveDocumentHost control released as a sample when 2.0 ships, please add your vote!
