The 70-543 exam is the official Microsoft exam behind Microsoft TS: Visual Studio Tools for 2007 MS Office System (VTSO) — passing it earns you the MCTS: Visual Studio Tools for 2007 Microsoft Office System certification, a credential positioned at the MCTS / Associate level. It is built for candidates who want to validate the skills measured by Microsoft TS: Visual Studio Tools for 2007 MS Office System (VTSO). Depending on your track, the exam is also linked to the MCPD: Microsoft Office Development certification, so one pass can move you toward more than one Microsoft credential.
The 70-543 exam presents 45–60 questions to be completed within 120 minutes. That pace leaves little room for second-guessing: read each question carefully on the first pass, flag the ones you want to revisit, and keep moving instead of stalling on a single item. Before exam day, run at least one full timed session in the TestSimulate desktop or online test engine with a comparable question load — a steady rhythm under the clock is a trainable skill, and it is often what separates a pass from a near miss.
To pass the 70-543 exam you need 700 (scaled 1–1000), and the official registration fee is USD 125–150 (historical, retired). Keep in mind that a failed attempt means paying that fee again in full — retakes are not discounted. Given the cost, self-test before you book: if you can score comfortably above the passing mark on two or three consecutive timed TestSimulate practice tests, your budget is far better spent on the exam itself than on a retake.
Recommended: Exam 70-536: TS: Microsoft .NET Framework – Application Development Foundation Because Microsoft revises its certification programs from time to time, treat this as a starting point rather than the final word. Confirm the current eligibility requirements on the official Microsoft exam page before you register.

Question 1
You create an application by using Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System (VSTO). The application modifies a Microsoft Office Excel custom workbook. The custom workbook displays the data that is contained in an XML file named Salesorder.xml. The Salesorder.xml file uses an XML schema that is stored in a file named Salesorder.xsd. Both the Salesorder.xml file and the Salesorder.xsd file are located in the C:\Data folder. You need to ensure that the data in the Salesorder.xml file is available for mapping. Which code segment should you use?
A. Excel.XmlMap map = this.XmlMaps.Add (@"c:\data\Salesorder.xsd", "Root"); this.XmlImport (@"c:\data\Salesorder.xml", out map, true, Globals.Sheet1.Range["A1", Type.Missing ]);
B. Excel.XmlMap map = this.XmlMaps.Add (@"c:\data\Salesorder.xsd", "Root"); this.XmlImportXml (@"c:\data\Salesorder.xml", out map, true, Globals.Sheet1.Range["A1", Type.Missing ]);
C. Excel.XmlMap map = this.XmlMaps.Add (@"c:\data\Salesorder.xml", "Root"); this.XmlImportXml (@"c:\data\Salesorder.xsd", out map, false, Globals.Sheet1.Range["A1", Type.Missing ]);
D. Excel.XmlMap map = this.XmlMaps.Add (@"c:\data\Salesorder.xml", "Root"); this.XmlImport (@"c:\data\Salesorder.xsd", out map, false, Globals.Sheet1.Range["A1", Type.Missing ]);
Question 2
You are creating an add-in for Microsoft Office Outlook by using Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System (VSTO). You write the following lines of code. (Line numbers are included for reference only.)
01 Private folders As List(Of Outlook.MAPIFolder)
02 Private explorer As Outlook.Explorer
03
04 Public Sub CreateCollection()
05 explorer = Application.ActiveExplorer()
06 folders = New List(Of Outlook.MAPIFolder)
07 ProcessFolders(explorer.CurrentFolder)
08 End Sub
09
10 Public Sub ProcessFolders(ByVal folder As Outlook.MAPIFolder)
11 ...
12 End Sub
You need to ensure that the folders collection includes all the folders and subfolders within the selected Outlook folder.
Which code segment should you insert at line 11?
A. For Each fldr As Outlook.MAPIFolder In folder.Folders ProcessFolders(fldr) Next
B. For Each fldr As Outlook.MAPIFolder In folder.Folders folders.Add(fldr) Next You are creating a document-level solution for Microsoft Office Word 2003 by using Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System (VSTO).
C. For Each fldr As Outlook.MAPIFolder In folder.Folders
D. folders.AddRange(folder.Folders) ProcessFolders(fldr) Next folders.Add(fldr)
Question 3
You create a document-level solution for Microsoft Office Word 2003 by using Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System (VSTO). You create a user control named MyUserControl.
You write the following code segment for your document class. (Line numbers are included for reference only.)
01 Private Sub ThisDocument_Startup _
(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
02 Dim uc As MyUserControl = New MyUserControl()
03 ... 04 End Sub
You need to display userControl in the actions pane.
Which code segment should you insert at line 03?
A. Me.ActionsPane.Parent.Controls.Add(uc)
B. Me.ActionsPane.Controls.AddRange _ (New Control() {uc, New MyUserControl()})
C. Me.ActionsPane.Controls.Add(uc)
D. Me.Controls.AddControl(uc, 100, 100, 100, 100, "Action s Pane")
Question 4
You are creating a document-level solution for Microsoft Office Word 2003 by using Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System (VSTO).
You write the following lines of code in the solution.
Dim tag As SmartTag = New _
SmartTag("http:// MySmartTag/ST#MySmartTag", "My Tag") tag.Terms.Add("Bug") tag.Terms.Add("Error") tag.Terms.Add("Issue") Dim action As Action = New Action("Add Reference") tag.Actions = New ActionBase() {action} AddHandler action.Click, AddressOf Me.action_Click
You need to add the string "Reference: " before either "Bug", "Error", or "Issue" when the smart tag is clicked.
Which code segment should you use?
A. Private Sub action_Click ( _ ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As ActionEventArgs ) e.Range.Text = "Reference: " & e.Text End Sub
B. Private Sub action_Click ( _ ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As ActionEventArgs ) e.Range.Text = "Reference: " & e.Range.XML (False).ToString() End Sub
C. Private Sub action_Click ( _ ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As ActionEventArgs ) e.Range.Text = "Reference: " & e.Properties.Read ("Text") End Sub
D. Private Sub action_Click ( _ ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As ActionEventArgs ) e.Properties.Write ( e.Range.Text , "Reference: " & e.Range.Text ) End Sub
Question 5
You create a document-level solution for Microsoft Office Excel 2003 by using Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System (VSTO). The customized worksheet must have a button in a cell of the first row and the first column. The button must be automatically resized when the cell is resized. You need to create a button that meets the requirements. Which code segment should you use?
A. Excel.Range rng = Sheet.Range["A", "1"]; Sheet.Controls.AddButton(rng, "MyButton");
B. Button button = Sheet.Controls.AddButton(1, 1, 0, 0, "MyButton"); button.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
C. Button button = Sheet.Controls.AddButton(1, 1, 1, 1, "MyButton"); button.Dock = DockStyle.None;
