In the good old days I believe people were using the arcane technology which
came to be known as COM+ to embed other application's document in their own
document.
Like a Word with document a Windows Media Player or Excel or Visio document
inside, double click on it and *bang* you coud start edit it using
Excel/WMP/Visio toolbar.
Apparently even OpenOffice could do that.
Now here is my question:
I'm a new generation programmer. Blissfully ignorant of such thing.
But I would like to know and embed Word, Excel or other kind of document in
my application's own document!
How could I do that?
And is there an up-to-date technology (i.e.: .NET API) to do that?

Using COM-interop.

the technology you are talking about it OLE (Object Linking and Embedding).
As Vadym has mentioned, you can use COM Interop to automate WinWord, but
this alone is not enough for OLE.
Unfotunately, in Windows Forms itself, there is no good suppot for OLE
Document hosting. In the worst case, you have to use MFC's OLE support which
is quite sophisticated.

COM+ is not arcane and has nothing to do with document embedding, what you
are refering to is extended OLE or Active Document Containment, a COM based
technology.

Implement an Active Document Container, using a framework like MFC. Please
consult MSDN for details on "Active Document Containers".

Kind of, .NET has the "Webbrowser" control which is a container usable from
managed code to embed an OLE server like Word, excel etc.., but the
technology is still OLE (that is COM), and that won't change because of
..NET.
You can also create your own container using a tool like MFC (or Delphi)
Willy.

You can embed any document you want in your own document in any way that you
want. Now, if you expect Word 2003 to be able to activate an embedded Word
document inside your app, then your only choice is OLE. Implementing an OLE
document container on .NET using WinForms might be possible, but it would
take an awful lot of work.
With Office 2007 and Windows Vista comes XPS - Xml Paper Specification. I
believe that the XPS spec fully supports linking and embedding documents -
hopefully there will be some usable managed support for manipulating XPS
documents and perhaps even a standard for embedded activation. But that's
not something you can use today.
-cd
If you are interested in learning OLE, the best resource is still
"Inside OLE" by Kraig Brockschmidt, MS Press (circa 1995).
Note this is the second edition of the book. I still have to find
another technical book on any subject with the depth and
breadth of this one... If you have original VC 6.0 installation
CDs, this book is available on the MSDN Library CDs
shipping with VC 6 (in the Books section), but has long since
been removed from mainstream MSDN Library.
