One thing that is interesting to me is that creating Excel spreadsheets is not as easy as creating Word documents, yet there isn't real examples for Excel.

There is a package on codeplex - ExcelPackage, but it has got it's limitations. Why can't Microsoft release something that works as easy as the COM interop libraries for the binaries formats that focuses on OpenXML?

Great work has been done with OpenXML and I love it, but I find it hard to programatically create Excel Spreadsheets using the provided SDK's.

Thanks,

Marais

@Marais - I will be writing some posts on developing solutions on top of SpreadSheetML in the future. Are there any specific scenarios that you are interested in me covering?

Will this also work in MONO?

Does it use native code?

Hi.

I'm really interrested in this new SDK 2.0

I seems to be really easier to use than the 'old' XML coding by hand ...

As I'm a newby in OpenXML as weel as in this new SDK, I'm looking for samples using this SDK (add a picture or a graph directly in the document for example).

I also wonder when a fianl release of this SDK should be available.

Thanks

@Christian – The SDK has not been ported to MONO, yet. We are still investigating. As for your question related to native code, the SDK is built entirely on .Net as such is managed code.

@Gerald – Glad to hear that you are interested in the SDK. I will be posting a lot of same code in the next coming posts. The final version 2.0 of the SDK will be released around the same time as O14.

Open XML Format SDK 2.0: How to merge two .docx files

Bikash Kumar : India — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 10:56:04 GMT

I have seen with this SDK (2.0) I can create .docx very easily which makes my life easy as we are having strongly typed classes. But please let me know how to Merge two .docx files in one file or by creating a third one. Let me know asap, I will be obliged.

Thanks,

Bikash

re: Open XML Format SDK 2.0

Bikash,

The easiest way to do that is to just use the alt chunk functionality. you can put the two .docx files within the new .docx packages, and then in the document.xml part just put two chunk tags that reference the embedded .docx files.

I think I have a blog that shows how to do this from a year or so ago... Zeyad also has a demo around this that he's going to post at some point (after he's done a couple posts on Excel).

Bikash Kumar : India — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 21:24:44 GMT

Thank you Brian for giving me this update but please provide me with some link/pointer/some code example, how may I use Chunk in Open XML SDK 2.0. Is it a strongly typed class like we have Body, Paragraph etc. Please update me on this.

Thank You.

Bikash

Bikash,

I will be writing up a post showing you how to merge documents using altChunk as soon as I am done with a few posts related to Spreadsheet scenarios. Stay tuned.
