Microsoft webswervices : Office

Hi all,

I have couple of questions on MS Webservices :

Do they have some published webservices : Like a webservice to convert an
excel or .mpp into xml ?

If yes where to locate them and how to call them ?

If no what can be a possible solution to implement private webservice to do
this work ?

Any assitence on this will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and cheers,
Sonia.

No, there are no such published services. You can write them yourself
pretty easily by putting a copy of Office on a server and writing a Web
service that accesses Excel's automation interfaces through the interop
assemblies that get installed with Office when you select the .NET
Programming [0] on the installer.

There may be some concurrency issues you may have to manage [1], I am
not sure if Excel has those particular problems.

Hallo Christoph,

Thanks for the info.

My task is to write a webservice to convert .mpp - xml and viceversa using
inbuilt functionality for this conversion.

Do I need an installation of MS Project on the server - I guess so ? What
all things I should ensure for Logon/security and also licensing ?

Thanks and cheers,
Amit.
