940 Part IX: Maintaining a Server in Windows SharePoint Services
Implementing Custom Document Conversion
Summary
To implement custom document conversion on the Windows SharePoint Services
platform you must create the following:
■ An entry in the Htmltransinfo.xml file for the document type.
■ A handler page that launches the document conversion process and returns the
HTML output to the user.
■ A set of custom conversion components.
You must choose among three methods to build the set of custom conversion
components:
■ Build custom implementations of the IHtmlTrLoadBalancer and IHtmlTr-
Launcher interfaces to launch a custom converter application and return its
results to Windows SharePoint Services.
■ Build a set of custom conversion components that do not use the Microsoft
.HtmlTrans interfaces at all.
■ Call the custom implementations of the IHtmlTrLoadBalancer and IHtmlTr-
Launcher interfaces provided as part of the Microsoft Office 2003 Resource Kit
and provide a custom converter application for the IHtmlTrLauncher implementation
to call.
This chapter provides an overview of all namespaces available in Windows Share-
Point Services and the major classes within them. Code examples illustrate how to
use the Windows SharePoint Services object model.
