    How to Install Your Control Into VS.NET 2003 or VS.NET 2005 Toolbox

    We needed to make sure some of the Aspose components are installed into the Toolbox in VS.NET during installation. We sifted through many discussions about this on the net.

    It is a trivial task, but looks like a lack of thought from Microsoft made it very complex. It is especially problematic because a reasonable way of installing the control to Toolbox in VS.NET 2003 does not work in VS.NET 2005.

    I pulled ideas from several resources to come up with … Continue Reading

    Performance Test of Large File

    Just wanted to share results of one of the performance tests we do right now before finalizing Aspose.Words 4.0. We think the results are very good, hence we want to share them. The test is for a quite LARGE file, so it is pretty much a stress test if you like. Most of the files you will process with Aspose.Words are likely to be smaller and process much faster.

    Test Setup

    • Test file: Word2003RTFSpec.doc, size 4.78mb, 212 pages, 390,000

    Follow up to Drawing Objects

    In the previous topic I forgot to really tell why support for drawing objects in Aspose.Words for .NET 4.0 is really AWesome.

    Current support for drawing objects in Aspose.Words for .NET 4.0 is by far the most thorough and comprehensive comparing to any existing competing commercial or open source packages. Support for drawing objects is only better of course in Microsoft Word itself.

    There is also the high-fidelity conversion from DOC to RTF and WordprocessingML without losing any of the formatting.

    The … Continue Reading

    AWesome Drawing Objects

    I liked the AWesome line started by my colleague Dmitry Vorobyev in a post about his work on RTF export and I want to carry it on to describe what we’ve done for drawing objects in Aspose.Words 4.0.

    Drawing objects in Microsoft Word documents are images, shapes (also called auto shapes), group shapes, textboxes, diagrams, OLE objects, ActiveX controls, horizontal lines and WordArt objects.

    In the binary DOC format they are sometimes called “Escher”, probably an early code name from Microsoft. In WordprocessingML … Continue Reading
