Apps for Office code samples

Great code samples are key to getting up and running quickly, so take a look at the Apps for Office and SharePoint Samples page in the MSDN Code Gallery. You can download all of the apps for Office code samples at once as a sample pack, or browse and download individual code samples.

Some of the code samples available for task pane and content apps are:

• Enable communication between apps

• Enable offline apps using browser caching

• Get selection-change coordinates in an Excel table

• Insert Twitter search results

• Interact with Facebook API

• Persist custom settings

• Surface and display errors in an app

• Work with custom XML parts

Some of the code samples available for mail apps are:

• Create a mail app to view YouTube videos

• Create a mail app for VoIP dialing

• Debug item properties

• Display hierarchy information from Active Directory

• Make an EWS request

• Store custom properties on an Exchange server

• Use a client identity token

• Validate a client identity token using the .NET Framework

Take advantage of the community feature that lets you request a code sample if we don't have one you'd like to see. We take those requests, along with other doc feedback and use them in our continuous updates to the content and samples. So please, let us know if you'd like to see something!

Tip
If you use the "Napa" Office 365 Development Tools to create apps for Office, you can share the code and pages in your "Napa" project with someone else using the Share Project feature.
