For those who envisage building an Excel RTD server, I have written http://www.calvert.ch/geodesix/source/index.htm and open-sourced the https://sourceforge.net/projects/geodesix/.

The following topics are covered:

  • How RTD servers work
  • Architecture
  • Excel, Multithreading and callbacks
  • Providing easy-to-read function names
  • Talking to the GoogleMaps APIs
  • Avoiding Application Domain misery
  • Embedding a GoogleMap page in an Excel Task Pane
  • Creating the Setup project
  • Changing the Excel RTD Throttle Interval
  • Utility functions
  • Building help from the source with Sandcastle


I hope that you will find it useful.
