This reference provides strongly typed part and content classes to manipulate Open XML documents.
Welcome to the Open XML Software Development Kit 2.0 for Microsoft® Office, August 2009 Community Technical Preview (CTP). The Open XML format is an open ECMA 376 standard and is also approved as the ISO/IEC 29500 standard. Microsoft Office Word 2007, Microsoft Office Excel® 2007, and Microsoft Office PowerPoint® 2007 all use these formats as the default file format. Open XML formats are useful for developers because they are an open standard and are based on well-known technologies: ZIP and XML. This SDK is built on top of the System.IO.Packaging API and provides strongly typed part classes to manipulate Open XML documents. This SDK also leverages the .NET Language-Integrated Query (LINQ) technology to provide strongly typed object access to the XML content inside the parts of Open XML documents.
