Using OpenKML SDK with .Net framework 4.0

Question

We are building our application in the .NET Framework 4.0 and must have a link to OpenXML v2.0 sdk for creating text documents. OpenXML requires .Net 3.5 Sp1 (although we have .net 4.0 installed on the system, it insists on installing .net 3.5 sp1), so if I refer to the OpenXML DLL files in my application, it means that I cannot create targeting application .Net framework 4.0?

Answer 1

I am currently using the Open XML SDK 2.0 dll when targeting .NET 4.0 and have no problems at all. Probably all of this requires at least .NET 3.5 sp1 or later, so if you can get the dll without installing .NET 3.5 sp1, then everything should be fine.
