How do I Read & Create DOC files(Structured Storage Files)

[Dwight]

I need to be able to read and create Structured Storage Files. I have not
been able to find anything about this except for C++, which I do not know.
currently i'm using a DOC viewer (eDoc) just to view them. But I need to do
this programatically. Could anyone point me to a place where I can find info
on how to achieve this?

Sybari has content filter lists that are stored in DOC files and I need to
be able to manage them.
Thanks

Hi,

Welcome to MSDN newsgroup!

For your issue, I suggest you call the Win32 native API using the P/Invoke.
There are tow methods you can use. One is the StgCreateDocfile which can
create a doc file; another is the StgOpenStorage which can open the storage
object in the file system. These methods are described in the MSDN
documentation links below:
[StgCreateDocfile]:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...us/stg/stg/stg
createdocfile.asp

[StgOpenStorage]:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...us/stg/stg/stg
openstorage.asp

Here is a good sample for the code project site:

Additionally, the link below shows us how to use these methods with C++:

of further assistance.
