OpenXML SDK -Converting C# to C++/CLI

I've got C# code for creating a document, I want to write the same in C++/CLI.

private void HelloWorld(string documentFileName) 
{
    // Create a Wordprocessing document. 
    using (WordprocessingDocument myDoc =
           WordprocessingDocument.Create(documentFileName, 
               WordprocessingDocumentType.Document)) 
    { 
        // Add a new main document part. 
        MainDocumentPart mainPart = myDoc.AddMainDocumentPart(); 
        //Create Document tree for simple document. 
        mainPart.Document = new Document(); 
        //Create Body (this element contains
        //other elements that we want to include 
        Body body = new Body(); 
        //Create paragraph 
        Paragraph paragraph = new Paragraph(); 
        Run run_paragraph = new Run(); 
        // we want to put that text into the output document 
        Text text_paragraph = new Text("Hello World!"); 
        //Append elem开发者_StackOverflow社区ents appropriately. 
        run_paragraph.Append(text_paragraph); 
        paragraph.Append(run_paragraph); 
        body.Append(paragraph); 
        mainPart.Document.Append(body); 
        // Save changes to the main document part. 
        mainPart.Document.Save(); 
    } 
}

Also please suggest me any links where I can find C++/CLI example for OpenXML SDK

Here's a direct translation:

private:
    void HelloWorld(String^ documentFileName)
    {
        msclr::auto_handle<WordprocessingDocument> myDoc(
            WordprocessingDocument::Create(
                documentFileName, WordprocessingDocumentType::Document
            )
        );
        MainDocumentPart^ mainPart = myDoc->AddMainDocumentPart();
        mainPart->Document = gcnew Document;
        Body^ body = gcnew Body;
        Paragraph^ paragraph = gcnew Paragraph;
        Run^ run_paragraph = gcnew Run;
        Text^ text_paragraph = gcnew Text(L"Hello World!");
        run_paragraph->Append(text_paragraph);
        paragraph->Append(run_paragraph);
        body->Append(paragraph);
        mainPart->Document->Append(body);
        mainPart->Document->Save();
    }

msclr::auto_handle<> should generally be considered more idiomatic than try..finally, just as std::shared_ptr<> and std::unique_ptr<> are in C++.

I take it you have tried something? I don't have access to a compiler

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B/CLI should get you started.

If you wonder about translating the using construct (good question, had you asked it!), I suggest something along the following lines (note the try {} finally { delete ... } idom)

private:

void HelloWorld(String^ documentFileName) 
{ 
    // Create a Wordprocessing document. 
    WordprocessingDocument ^myDoc = WordprocessingDocument::Create(documentFileName, WordprocessingDocumentType::Document);
    try
    {
        // Add a new main document part. 
        MainDocumentPart mainPart = myDoc::AddMainDocumentPart(); 
        //Create Document tree for simple document. 
        mainPart->Document = gcnew Document(); 
        //Create Body (this element contains
        //other elements that we want to include 
        Body body = gcnew Body(); 
        //Create paragraph 
        Paragraph paragraph = gcnew Paragraph(); 
        Run run_paragraph = gcnew Run(); 
        // we want to put that text into the output document 
        Text text_paragraph = gcnew Text("Hello World!"); 
        //Append elements appropriately. 
        run_paragraph->Append(text_paragraph); 
        paragraph->Append(run_paragraph); 
        body->Append(paragraph); 
        mainPart->Document->Append(body); 
        // Save changes to the main document part. 
        mainPart->Document->Save(); 
    } finally
    {
        delete myDoc;
    }   
}

I want to repeat I have no compiler available at the moment, so it may be rough around the edges, but should provide some information nonetheless

The syntax is basically the same. "new" needs to be replaced by gcnew, the "." by -> (e.g. body.Append(paragraph) will be body->Append(paragraph). The tricky part will be the "using" directive. To do it the C++ way, you need some kind of smart pointer that "deletes" the object at the end of the block (with delete meaning calling the IDisposable interface) - this is called RAII.
