Subject: UBL and Microsoft Word / Excel + Open XML SDK?
This looks like you could build a tool to have end users create Invoice in MS Word - and then place that document in the "Send" folder of something like the S2Sclient on the desktop - and have it package the Word content as a valid UBL XML transaction and send it via ebMS.... DW "The way to be is to do" - Confucius (551-472 B.C.) Open XML SDK: Tech Preview Brian Jones, Blog "Microsoft announced the release of an early preview of a managed API for the Open XML formats, available for download as a Community Technology Preview. This is another tool that will help make it easier for developers to build solutions on top of the Office file formats. The easier we can make it for people to build solutions, the more valuable the documents themselves become. This is a very early preview and we're hoping to get a lot of great feedback to help shape the evolution of these APIs. There is a discussion forum where you can ask questions, and provide feedback on things you'd like to see added or changed. We'll then take this feedback and use it to help generate future CTPs. The goal in this first CTP was to provide some additional structure on top of what was already provided by System.IO.Packaging in .Net 3.0. Now instead of just generic parts and relationships, you actually have each part from the Open XML spec available as a strongly typed part. The API also provides package level validation so you'll know your creating all the necessary content type declarations and relationship type references." Online overview: "The 2007 Microsoft Office system introduces a new file format that is based on XML called Open XML Formats. 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. Microsoft provides a library for accessing these files as part of the WinFX technologies in the System.IO.Packaging namespace. This SDK is built on top of the System.IO.Packaging API and provides strongly typed part classes to manipulate Open XML documents." http://blogs.msdn.com/brian_jones/archive/2007/06/04/open-xml-api-tech-preview.aspx See also the download: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=AD0B72FB-4A1D-4C52-BDB5-7DD7E816D046
