CompoundFile support in .NET framework 2.0

[Guest]

Hi,

The following links talk about .NET Compound Files in the .NET Framework
System.IO.CompoundFile namespace:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/longhorn/?pull=/library/en-us/dnlong/html/avalon-edocs.asp#edocs_topic7
http://www.winfx247.com/247reference/namespaces.aspx

I have just loaded the Visual Studio 2005 Beta, and MSDN Library for Visual
Studio 2005 Beta, and could not find any reference to the
System.IO.CompoundFile namespace.

Will this namespace be available in the release version of the .NET
Framework version 2, and where can I get a copy of the .NET Framework which
includes the CompoundFile support?

Regards,
Sijmen.

That article refers to a version of windows and a framework that doesn't
exist yet, really, probably somethign similar to the 3.0 framework. Its in
pre-beta still and may never be delievered(ya know how that goes, couple
years out, who knows for sure?).

I do not think there is any compound file support in 2.0 and am not sure
that System.IO.CompoundFile is an OLE compound document implementation and
not some next generation tech with similar goals and names.
