Hi there,

I'm developing an addin for Word 2007 which integrates into TFS. I have the code that can extract necessary work items and display them in a table etc. The problem that I am facing now is that I would like this table to be updated dynamically. For example, when I click on the table, have the option to "update" the table contents which then clears out the old data, and repopulates the table with the new data. What would be the best way to go about this? And is this even possible?

There's nothing built into either Word or VSTO that can link a Word table to any kind of data source.

You can use the WindowSelectionChange event to determine where the user has "clicked" (whether you're in a table), then have code to the entire data update. Or you could add a menu item to the right-click menu to call such code.
