The VSTO forum targets the VSTO technology. VSTO is not the equivalent of "Office interop" - it's a set of tools that extends the UI of some Office 2003 and 2007 applications. Looking at the information on the Download page, one sees that this is a sample for a Windows Forms application - nothing to do with VSTO. This question is off-topic in the VSTO forum.
At the bottom of the article related to the download there's a list of links for relevant sites, I suggest you try those.
Apparently, the author, Mike Talley, doesn't have ablog. But this article is mentioned in another blog, and the persons there invite questions. So you might ask them.
I'm moving this message thread to a WinForms forum.
