  4. About the Open XML SDK Library: What is it? • “The Open XML SDK 2.0 simplifies the task of manipulating Open XML packages and the underlying Open XML schema elements within a package. The Open XML SDK 2.0 encapsulates many common tasks that developers perform on Open XML packages, so that you can perform complex operations with just a few lines of code.” 1 • An Open XML Package is a zip file containing XML documents, images and other files needed to display the document in a Microsoft Office application. 1. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/bb448854(v=office.14).aspx

  6. Getting Started:Installing the Open XML SDK Library • Open XML SDK 2.0 for Microsoft Office Download • Install the “Open XML SDK” from the OpenXMLSDKv2.msi installer. • Install the “Open XML SDK Productivity Tool for Microsoft Office” from the OpenXMLSDKTool.msi installer.

  7. Getting Started:Reference the Open XML SDK Library • In the .NET application, reference: * WordLite is a class library that I created to make it easier to work with Word Documents. ** SpreadsheetLight is freely available under the MIT License that simplifies using the Open XML SDK Library when creating Excel Documents.

  8. Getting Started:Open XML SDK 2.0 Productivity Tool • Open Microsoft Office document and generate C# code to create the same document. • View the Open XML SDK Documentation.

  9. Creating Word Documents: Options • Open XML SDK 2.0 Productivity Tool for MS Office • Bookmarks • XSLT

  10. Creating Word Documents:Using “Open XML SDK 2.0 Productivity Tool” • Pros • All the code is generated for you. • Fast and Easy. • Cons • The tool generates a lot of code. • Every change requires the code to be updated and deployed.

  11. Creating Word Documents:Using “Open XML SDK 2.0 Productivity Tool” • Create and Save Word Document • Open the Word Document using “Open XML SDK 2.0 Productivity Tool” • In “Document Explorer”, right-click on root and select “Reflect Code”. • Create console app in Visual Studio. Add references to required assemblies. • Create new class for the “generated code”. • Instantiate class and call CreatePackage from Main.

  12. Create Word Documents:Using Bookmarks • Pros • Easy to create and update the “template” document without having to write code. • The end user could create their own “template” documents. • Cons • Requires code to know about all the bookmarks.

  13. Create Word Documents:Using Bookmarks: “Real World” Implementation • Application for police departments to create Wanted Posters.

  14. Create Word Documents:Using Bookmarks – Create “Template” Document • Create Word Document • Insert Bookmark • Insert -> Bookmark • Give the bookmark a name • Click “Add” button • Making Bookmarks visible • File -> Options • Advanced -> Show document content • Show bookmarks

  15. Create Word Documents:Using Bookmarks • Demo Bookmarks in a Word Document

  16. Create Word Documents:Using Bookmarks • Header and Footer Bookmarks • Create Header • Insert -> Header • Insert Bookmark • Insert -> Bookmark • Give the bookmark a name • Click “Add” button • Design -> Close Header and Footer

  17. Create Word Documents:Using Bookmarks and WordLite • Open a word document with Bookmarks. • Replace bookmarks with text. • Replace image. • Get the header and replace bookmark with text. • Get the footer and replace bookmark with text.

  18. Create Word Documents:Using Bookmarks • Identifying the header and footer • Open the document in the “Open XML SDK 2.0 Productivity Tool”. • Open each header and footer and look for the bookmark. • Identifying the image name (option 1) • Open the document in the “Open XML SDK 2.0 Productivity Tool” • Locate the image. • Identifying the image name (option 2) • Change the extension on the Word document to .zip • Extract the contents of the .zip file and look at each image.

  19. Create Word Documents:Using Bookmarks and WordLite • Review WordController.ProductBookmarks Controller Action.

  20. Create Word Documents:Using Bookmarks and WordLite • Add bookmark to the document. • Replace bookmark with image. doc.Bookmarks["Image"].ReplaceWithImage( @“C:\Images", “kendo.png”, "image/png");

  21. Create Word Documents: Using Bookmarks • Demo Allowing End User to Create Templates

  22. Creating Word Documents: Using XSLT • Pros • Templates can be changed without having to recompile. • .NET code is simplified. • Good approach when the document format does not change much over time. • Cons • Templates can get a bit complicated to manipulate.

  23. Creating Word Documents:Using XSLT : “Real World” Implementation • Creating Government Contracting Documents

  24. Creating Word Documents:Review Open XML Package Definition • An Open XML Package is a zip file containing XML documents, images and other files needed to display the document in a Microsoft Office application.

  25. Creating Word Documents:Using XSLT • Create Word Document • Put “placeholders” for values • Save document • Create XSLT file • Rename .docx to .zip • Open zip file and get the word/document.xml file • Rename with .xslt extension • Replace: • <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> • With: • <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> • <xsl:template match=“/"> • Add to the end of the file: • </xsl:template> • </xsl:stylesheet>
