Tutorials on Open Packaging Conventions / System.IO.Packaging

Question

Has anyone seen a good tutorial on Open Packaging Conventions and the System.IO.Packaging namespace?

I have some areas where I think this technology could be useful, but I'm nervous because I don't quite understand it and I'm stuck on some of the terminology.

Answer 1

Eric White has a pretty good introduction here:

Answer 2

System.IO.Packaging namespace allows to access the package related info as Digital signature, Encryption, relations between the various xml files and package properties of that file.

It also allows to access the File as part, as a collection of Individual objects.
