Open XML SDK CTP
Blatant snip from the press release:
Today at TechEd we announced the availability of the Microsoft SDK for Open XML Formats – June 2007 Technology Preview, which will be downloadable for free from the Open XML Developer Center as well as at this URL: https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=AD0B72FB-4A1D-4C52-BDB5-7DD7E816D046&displaylang=en. The download package will go live later today.
There will also be an MSDN forum for this SDK available at this URL: https://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=1647&SiteID=1
The SDK includes .NET assemblies that provide a programmable object model for the Ecma formats, along with sample code and how to articles. The SDK will enable developers to decrease their development time for scenarios such as:
-
- Creating documents programmatically
- Customizing parts within documents
- Adding and inspecting custom XML schema within documents
- Working with and customizing document properties

Does it have anything to convert old office documents formats like (.DOC,.PPT) to OpenXML and vice versa ?Anonymous

To bulk convert legacy Office documents to the new XML formats take a look at the Office Migration Planning Manager. http://technet2.microsoft.com/Office/en-us/library/d0373697-31f5-4fc5-8dd1-1b9d7f35842f1033.mspx?mfr=trueAnonymous

Thanks, Ive checked it out but is there a way to convert between file formats without MS Office on user machine ?Anonymous

Your two options are to use the Office client apps on a document by document basis, or to use the bulk migration approach as per the Migration Planning Manager. Is there a particular reason you want to be able to do this yourself programmatically?Anonymous

One option is to programmatically call OFC.EXE, the converter program from the Office Migration Planning Manager. Here's some info on that approach: http://blogs.msdn.com/dmahugh/archive/2007/02/09/converting-office-documents-to-open-xml.aspxAnonymous
