Using OpenOffice from C# to convert File Formats.

Question

Has anyone used the CLI libraries from OpenOffice that allow to use it from a .NET application? I'm trying to save a document in HTML format in the following way.

You define a property that is passed as parameter to the save method. In this case I found the example to save the document as Microsoft Word 97, and it is done giving the property a name like "FilterName" and the string value "swriter: MS Word 97".

The issue is that they don't have documented what is the string value for saving as an HTML Document.

Here is the code:

 propertyValues[1] = new unoidl.com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue();
 propertyValues[1].Name = "FilterName";
 propertyValues[1].Value = new uno.Any("swriter: MS Word 97");

 XStorable xStorable = xComponent as XStorable;
 xStorable.storeToURL(PathConverter(FileName), propertyValues);

Where can I find the source code of the OpenOffice so I can trace it?

Answer 1

Using the following string "HTML (StarWriter)" as FilterName.

Value makes the export pretty well, Also found useful and working nice the PDF Filter Exporter "writer_pdf_Export".

Actually there is a List of all Export/Importers (I don't know if all works or if they need of plug-ins to work):
