      Note  The Office development tools in Visual Studio were known as the Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO) in previous versions of Visual Studio.
    Tools
    • Persistent Events tool—Provides a user interface that lets you add persistent events in an active Visio document and modify existing persistent events.

    • Print ShapeSheet tool—Provides a user interface that enables you to print the contents of a ShapeSheet.
    • Solution Publishing tool—Lets you add Visio-specific entries to the PublishComponent table of a Windows Installer (.msi) file for publishing custom Visio content.
    Type libraries
    • The Visio SDK provides three type libraries that Visio 2010 exposes. In addition, it provides support files to help C++ developers automate Visio.
    Add-on wizards
    • The Visio SDK installs wizards for creating Visio add-on projects in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 and Microsoft Visual Studio 2008
    Documentation
    • The Visio SDK contains the Visio Automation Reference, Save as Web Reference, ShapeSheet Reference, Viewer Reference, and XML Schema Reference.
