Folks, we've had requests for our SL4 app to generate Word, Excel and PowerPoint files. Security restrictions normally prevent this and there are problems with dependencies on the client. At the moment as a workaround we simply paste XML and text into the clipboard and the user then pastes it into Excel. We noticed that no other competitive SL apps generate Office documents, so I presume they have given up trying to overcome the security sandboxing like we did.
However, we've had fresh requests so I thought I'd mention the topic in here in case there are new products and techniques that I'm not aware of. I think if our App is installed as a trusted out-of-browser app then it do what we want, but we think it's unlikely that anyone will do that, and we haven't tried it anyway. Perhaps we could generate the documents on the server side, place them in a public URL and give the SL user a hyperlink to them. Has anyone tried this? Cheers, Greg
