Introduction to Office Open XML Code Snippets

Office Programmability PM Kevin Boske has a new screencast on Channel 9 that takes you through how to work with the Office Open XML Code Snippets that are available as a free download on MSDN. There are 40 code snippets total, providing ready-to-use methods for common development chores ranging from deleting comments and metadata to reading/writing cells in spreadsheets to reordering slides and much more.

This is a great chance to learn about how to work with the System.IO.Packaging API, straight from the team that developed it. Kevin takes you through three of the snippets, and after that you'll be ready to use any of them. The snippets are available in both C# and VB versions.
