With the Excel addin OfficeExcel2003XMLToolsAddin I've been able to define XML mapping for an Excel Worksheet (this addin converts a range to a XML list) and now I'm able to manually save the Excel file as a XML file, using Save as.
Excel correctly produces something like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Root xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<Row>
<brand>Brand1</brand>
<Italian>Description1</Italian>
<English>Description2</English>
</Row>
<Row>
<brand>Brand2</brand>
<Italian>Description3</Italian>
<English>Description4</English>
</Row>
</Root>
Now, I would like to programmatically do the same (hopefully using c#, .NET 4.0).
I tried using npoi and Microsoft Office Interop Excel, using this code
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application xlApp = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application();
xlApp.Workbooks.OpenXML(@"excelFile.xls");
xlApp.Workbooks[1].SaveAs(xmlFile, XlFileFormat.SOME_FORMAT);
trying with all the enumerations listed on XlFileFormat reference page, with no success.
Any suggestions? Thanks
