MSDN Code Gallery for XPS

  • Article

The code gallery for the XPS APIs in Windows 7 is now live on MSDN. The gallery has three code samples for using the new APIs:

  • Basics of working with XPS Documents: loading, modifying and saving.
  • Rollup: combing content from different documents.
  • Flow Text: using the text capabilities exposed by DirectWrite to generate fixed layout XPS Document content from flow text.

Enjoy…

    I'm looking to be doing some of this for a product I'm currently working on (combining documents and flow->fixed are going to be large parts of the system).  Is this .NET 4.0 stuff?  Or will these native APIs be available in 4.0?

    Hi Will,Those samples are for the Win32 APIs in Windows 7. However, there's been XPS support in .Net since 3.0. A good place to start in the documentation is the WPF overview section [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms749165.aspx] and the System.Windows.XPS namespace [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.xps.aspx]

    Yeah, I know.  I was thinking that there might be MORE support in the unmanaged APIs in 7 that simplify tasks such as converting from flow to fixed and combining documents.   As far as I can tell, the only info about doing that using the .net 3.0 assemblies are some blog posts by Feng Yuan....  I wish there was much MUCH more information/examples about using system.windows.xps IRL..
