Combining the technologies of PowerShell and Open XML is a powerful and convenient way to do server-side document processing. The PowerTools for Open XML are sample source code and guidance for developers showing how to build PowerShell cmdlets that can create and modify Open XML documents. Also included are a number of examples of PowerShell scripts that use the cmdlets. To install and use the PowerTools for Open XML: You need to have any edition (including Express Edition) of Visual Studio 2008 installed. You can download Express Edition at http://www.microsoft.com/express/download/. You need to have PowerShell 1.0 installed. You can download PowerShell at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/technologies/management/powershell/download.mspx. PowerTools for Open XML is built using the Open XML SDK. You can download the SDK at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=120908. You also need the PowerTools source code, which is available in the "Releases" tab above.

Comments verytidyboy wrote Jun 25 at 12:51 AM This looks interesting, however there doesn't appear to be an express edition of Visual Studio 2008. Do you mean any of the express editions or does it need to be studio? Thanks and Best Regards, Richard Pilosite wrote Jun 25 at 9:17 AM verytidyboy : Everything is explained above. Download Visual C# express by following this link : http://www.microsoft.com/express/download/ Very nice project Eric ! congratulations verytidyboy wrote Jul 3 at 3:37 AM Eric, Do you mean any of the express edition languages such as "Visual C#", "Visual Basic" etc or does it need to be "Visual Studio 2008"? I couldn't find an express edition of "Visual Studio 2008", I don't think there is one. Thanks. WilliamJSullivan wrote Jul 10 at 12:58 PM Express editions don't contain more than one language. There is an express edition for each. So when somebody says "Visual Studio 2008 Express" they mean "For your particular language of choice, go download the express edition of 2008 for that language." So, to be EVEN MORE clear, if you like C#, download Visual Studio 2008 Express for C#. If you like VB, download Visual Studio 2008 Express for VB.NET. If you like C++, Visual Studio 2008 Express for C++. If you like Boo, you're going to have to download Visual Studio Shell and create a custom package for the Boo language. I believe there is already a package for Visual Studio 2008, so you might have to twiddle it a little to get it working in Shell. Sign in to add a comment
