COM Automation with OpenOffice – Silverlight 4
Another article in the ‘– Silverlight 4’ series. I don’t have an extra license for Office suite, but I did want to play with COM Automation feature in Silverlight 4. I said to myself ‘lemme try OpenOffice’. This is a close match to Microsoft’s Office package and it’s FREE. It definitely is compatible with files created in MS Office. So, I installed OpenOffice on my virtual machine and I was able to build a small application (an OOB with elevated permissions).
