DevProConnections Article: Taking Advantage of LINQ and XML in Microsoft Office 2007

This month I have an article on DevProConnections: Taking Advantage of LINQ and XML in Microsoft Office 2007 In this article, I talk about how a lot of applications that need to take advantage of Microsoft Office can do so without going through COM.
