Intergen wanted to create a demonstration application that shows off the new Office Open XML format. The focus of the application was to show that you can now easily create Office 2007 files with the .NET Framework 3.0 Packaging Library without having Office installed! This allows desktop and server applications to process files without the normal overhead of opening and closing Office. With only one developer, Intergen was able to deliver a powerful yet user friendly application, and a quality code sample that anyone can use to learn how to use the new  Packaging library with Open XML.

The resulting application was a Excel add-in called IIS Analyser and has now been posted on CodePlex as part of Microsofts open source community.

Product Summary
IIS Analyser 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.
