As we all know, over the last few months there have been a lot of different individuals and organizations looking at the Ecma Open XML file format specification, in many of those cases and as part of their investigation work this has resulted in projects to trial the use of the specification and the file format.
These projects have been dealing with a wide range of issues such as document security, assembly, archiving, or in the case that I’ll highlight in this post data transformation.
Intergen, a New Zealand based ISV, have today released their project to CodePlex, so now anybody can take a look at the work that they have been doing.
Intergen’s Open XML IIS Analyzer provides the ability to convert log files from Internet Information Server into Open XML format which then allows you to build reports in one of the growing number of applications that support this format.
And from the page, here is the project description
Sphere: Related ContentIIS Analyzer is an add-in for Microsoft Excel 2007 that downloads and converts server log files into the OpenXML format. Using Visual Studio Tools for Office and the .NET packaging libraries, IIS Analyzer can quickly create reports in multiple formats, including Excel spreadsheets, Word documents and PowerPoint presentations. Log data can also be exported to any SQL Server database.
