Well, there are times when you need to do stuff to documents on the server. With OpenXML it's "easier" than the old binary formats, but it's still pretty fugly.
You can affect document properties using a little workaround from Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/224351 I believe that package includes source and a COM interop wrapper for using the ActiveX DLL in .NET scenarios. I've previously disassembled this stuff and signed/recompiled for use with SharePoint -- scarily enough, even SharePoint/MOSS 2007 don't give you full document editing capabilities on the server. MOSS gives you some Excel services, but still doesn't do much for word 2010 might be a different story, I haven't looked closely. There are, however, other companies that offer Office components to allow this kind of editing. Their affordability varies. ∞ Andy Badera ∞ +1 518-641-1280 ∞ This email is: [ ] bloggable [x] ask first [ ] private ∞ Google me: http://www.google.com/search?q=andrew%20badera On Wed, Sep 23, 2009 at 5:08 AM, Processor Devil <[email protected]> wrote: > Hopefully I never tried using office assemblies in ASP.NET, but thanks for > the license specification, now I also have a reason why to say NO :) > > 2009/9/21 Andrew Badera <[email protected]> >> >> YOU SHOULD NEVER USE OFFICE ASSEMBLIES IN ASP.NET OR ON A CENTRALIZED >> SERVER.
