I have spent most of the day learning about Open XML. My goal is to use it to create office documents programmatically using the data contained within the database that powers the web site I run at work. If you are interested in Open XML, you will find below links to the sites I found most helpful. In a later post I will demonstrate what I have learned and subsequently developed.
