Sending Word Document as an attachement.

[Emily John]

I have a word document that I need to send it as an attachment to an XML
file. Basically, converting into byte array or using some encoding
mechanism. This has to be done through XML serialization in c#. Is it
possible to do it through xml serialization ?

THanks,

I would convert the Word document into Base64 encoding first. Open the XML
Document and insert the Base64 encoded text to the appropriate node.

Victor,

I can convert that into base 64 encoding. But How do I read the word
document in .NET ? There is a COM component that .NET supports Microsoft
Office 10.0/9.0 Object library to access the word document properties..
I am not sure whether this is the right approach.. Can you point me to
some documentation resources and explain how to do this (with an
example, if possible)??

Thanks,
--Emily

This is quite common to do, the term is "Automation", so if you search
Google for ".Net Office Automation" that will return you a lot of hits to
help you get started. If you are familiar with this method in other
languages (VB 6.0, Delphi or even Java) it works exactly the same - apart
from the syntax and the COM interop approach in different languages. (try
this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/302902/EN-US/).

If you want to actually 'open' and 'view' Word doc in .Net natively in
WinForm this is not currently possible. The only way to do this is by
embedding a WebBrowser control in your project and open the Word Document
through that web browser control.
