Aspose.Total for .NET

Software Overview

Aspose.Total for .NET is a robust software development kit that enables software developers to create, process, export, and convert over 100 different file formats.

The .NET edition supports .NET Framework version from 2.0 through 4.0, which must be installed on the target computer in order to use the libraries.

The following components are included with Aspose.Total for .NET:

• Aspose.Cells for .NET: Spreadsheet formats, including Microsoft Excel, CSV, and OpenDocument (.ODS)
• Aspose.Words for .NET: Text document formats, including Microsoft Word, RTF, and OpenDocument (.ODT)
• Aspose.Pdf for .NET: PDF and other document types such as XPS and LaTeX
• Aspose.Slides for .NET: Presentation formats, including Microsoft PowerPoint and OpenDocument (.ODP)
• Aspose.Tasks for .NET: Microsoft Project formats

Aspose's simple APIs allow developers to process complex file formats easily, and this is what makes the libraries so valuable. For example, Microsoft Office formats can be loaded and converted with just a few lines of source code without having Microsoft Office products installed on the computer. See the sample source code snippet below (written in C#), which shows how easy it is to convert a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation file to PDF:

We have used Aspose.Total for .NET primarily for rendering and converting Microsoft file formats and have found that it does a very good job. We were unable to find any other libraries that converted as many file formats with the same quality. The Aspose team continuously updates and improves their libraries as well with better format support. Therefore, we can highly recommend Aspose.Total as great choice for file format APIs.

There are a few things that you may keep an eye out for as a developer. Some of the libraries can be memory and CPU intensive, since they often load entire documents into memory before allowing you to work with them. Also, there aren't easy ways to cancel loading and conversion operations, which can take time for larger documents. This can be an issue if an end user wants to stop conversion.

If you're looking for file format support in your software, give Aspose.Total for .NET a try. Aspose offers a free fully-functional trial with a generous trial period, allowing you to evaluate before buying. You can also choose from several licensing terms, including a royalty-free option, which lets you bypass the hassle of volume-based licensing.
