Open XML SDK 2.0 for Microsoft Office

Open XML SDK 2.0 for Microsoft Office
Welcome to the Open XML SDK 2.0 for Microsoft Office. The Open XML Formats is an ISO/IEC 29500 standard and open ECMA 376 standard. Microsoft Office 2007 documents and Microsoft Office 2010 documents, specifically Microsoft Office Word® 2010, Microsoft Office Word® 2007, Microsoft Office Excel® 2010, Microsoft Office Excel® 2007, and Microsoft Office PowerPoint® 2010, and Microsoft Office PowerPoint® 2007, use these file formats with some extensions. 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 theSystem.IO.Packaging API and provides strongly-typed part classes to manipulate Open XML documents. More supported is added specifically for Microsoft Office 2007 documents and Microsoft Office 2010 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.
