I trying to find information on how to access a Open XML file on a OneDrive or SharePoint folder using a service. The idea is to pass access information such as userID and password to the OneDrive or SharePoint, open the Excel(xlsx) or Word(docx) and search the xml parts for nodes to bring back specific items for use in an Office Web application. Can someone direct me to examples or step by step how tos?  Also I remember reading or being told the service would have to exist on an Azure server to access the OneDrive or SharePoint servers,  is that correct?

Thank you

Hello guys,

I am creating excel file using, Open XML.

The data will be coming from database, and can contain HTML tags.

e.g. <b>some sample <i style='color:red'> text </i></b>

I want the HTML to be rendered inside excel sheet, so that user can view well formatted excel..

Please, Help me out

Hello,

I recently starte dwriting code to create an OpenXML presentation from some content. Everything is working so far.

The only thing I am not able to solve:

I am inserting a new slide and connecting to an existing slide layout part, like:

SlideLayoutPart slideLayoutPart = null;
foreach (var layoutPart in masterPart.SlideLayoutParts.Where(layoutPart => layoutPart.SlideLayout.CommonSlideData.Name.Value.Equals(layout))))
     slideLayoutPart = layoutPart;

if (slideLayoutPart != null)
{
     slidePart.AddPart(slideLayoutPart);
     newSlide = new Slide { CommonSlideData = (CommonSlideData)slideLayoutPart.SlideLayout.CommonSlideData.Clone() };
     using (var stream = slideLayoutPart.GetStream())
     {
          slidePart.SlideLayoutPart.FeedData(stream);
     }
}
newSlide.save(slidePart);

But when I open the presentation, the placeholder shapes in the slidelayout are not rendered correctly.

When I add a new slide in powerpoint, I get those placeholder shapes where the text flushes when I place the cursor, so I can fill with my own text. 

But adding a slide programmatically like shown above, the placeholder text is rendered as normal text.

My question: How to remain the placeholders correctly? 

Thanks!

I have 2 docx files, one contains the styles I want to use.

The other one needs to get these styles. (I believe this is working)

But in the second file I also need to find paragraphs that contain <H1> or <H2> etc.

I can find the paragraphs , but when I then apply a style to it (Heading 1, Heading 2 etc) I don't see anything happening in

the final document. I believe the styles are in the document, just the 'apply' does not seem to do anything.I also look for <TOC> and insert a TOC at that location, that works fine, but the styling...is a problem.

The full example (C#) can be downloaded from http://www.geerdes.nl/openxml.zip

In the debug directory you will find the FileC.docx, styles.docx that I use.

I really could use some help here.

Thanks in advance

We have very strange error here for which we could not find any solution. I hope VB6 ,word expert could help us in this.

We have our code in VB6. There is a functionality in the code in which we send the word documents to client/users through the code. Word documnets have bookmarks in them. During send operation code creates word object, generates the bookmarks in the ActiveDocument and send it to client.

However, users are getting below error while sending the documents. We have tried tried users scenarios in our local machines the error does not get reproduced. Below is the error description through the log for the user.

Error Description -2147417851 Method '~' of object '~' failed

Source     RevisionDLL     CGCDocWordApp:ActiveBookmarkSet Method
RevisionDLL     CGCDocWordApp:GetNextTypeBookmark Method
RevisionDLL     IDocument:GenerateDocument Method
DistribDll     IDistribution::PrepareDoc

Note: The error occuring when the documents are in bunch. and the error is inconsistent. We checked the MDAC version of all servers. MDAC version are matching

Which googled around for all possible solutions but neither solution is working for us.

hi,

In the excel document,  the following three seems the same, what is the difference?

1) <xf numFmtId="0" fontId="0" fillId="2" borderId="0" xfId="0" applyFill="1">...  //CellFormat.ApplyFill=true

2) <xf numFmtId="0" fontId="0" fillId="2" borderId="0" xfId="0" >...                         //CellFormat.ApplyFill=null

3) <xf numFmtId="0" fontId="0" fillId="2" borderId="0" xfId="0" applyFill="0">...  //CellFormat.ApplyFill=false

thanks,

i've to actually get the Table1 from the summary sheet into the DataTable. 

So,i've written a following method to read "summary" sheet and then i checked if the Table1 exist then break the loop.My problem is i've found Table1 but i am not able to convert it into the DataTable.Can anyone tell me how to do it.

Hi,

I'm using open xml SDK 2.0 and i'm kind off new to this.

I have actually created a quickpart (containg content control) in my word 2007 document named "hello.docx". Now I need to copy the quickpart into the other location of the same document named "hello.docx". I was very thank full for this post http://www.techques.com/question/1-3448297/Replacing-Content-Controls-in-OpenXML .This post just deletes the content control but keeps the content in Content control.

With the help of the above link I was able to modify the code to clone the content control and append to the same document (This part of my code is working). But i have problem in innerText. Though i replace the innerText in the open Xml element, it is not geting reflected in the document.

staticvoid AddingSdtBlock(string filename, string sdtBlockTag)
    {using (WordprocessingDocument doc = WordprocessingDocument.Open(filename,true))
      {
        MainDocumentPart mainDocumentPart = doc.MainDocumentPart;
        List<SdtBlock> sdtList = mainDocumentPart.Document.Descendants<SdtBlock>().ToList();
        SdtBlock sdtA = null;foreach (SdtBlock sdt in sdtList)
        {if (sdt.SdtProperties.GetFirstChild<Tag>().Val.Value == sdtBlockTag)
          {
            sdtA = sdt;break;
          }
        }
        SdtBlock cloneSdkt = (SdtBlock)sdtA.Clone();
        OpenXmlElement sdtc = cloneSdkt.GetFirstChild<SdtContentBlock>();// OpenXmlElement parent = cloneSdkt.Parent; 
        OpenXmlElementList elements = cloneSdkt.ChildElements;// var mySdtc = new SdtContentBlock(cloneSdkt.OuterXml); foreach (OpenXmlElement elem in elements)
        {string innerxml= elem.InnerText ;if (innerxml.Length>0)
         {string modified = "Class Name : My Class.Description : mydesc.AttributesNameDescriptionMy Attri name.my attri desc.Operations NameDescriptionmy ope name.my ope descriptn.";string replace= elem.InnerText.Replace(innerxml, modified);// mainDocumentPart.Document.Save(); 
         }// string text = parent.FirstChild.InnerText; // parent.Append((OpenXmlElement)elem.Clone()); 
        }
        mainDocumentPart.Document.Body.AppendChild<SdtBlock>(cloneSdkt);//sdtA.Remove(); 
      }
    }

The Replaced string in the openXML element is not geting reflected in the document. Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Everybody, 

I have a list of items, which should be nicely inserted into a word Table. 

The list is: 

Name: Test, SurName: Beta, Born: 10-01-2013, Nationality: Danish

Name: Test2, SurName: Beta2, Born: 10-01-2013, Nationality: Danish
Name: Test3, SurName: Beta3, Born: 10-01-2013, Nationality: Danish

I have created a content control for the whole table, one for the row and 4 content controls for the 4 items. 

How can I do this in C#?



Thanks in advance

Good morning!  This code took a while to put together - both cause I'm new to the OpenXML API, and because it's really hard to search for "table" and "spreadsheet" on the internet and not get results polluted by generic information on spreadsheets.  The background here is that I'm using SQL Server Integration Services to read Excel spreadsheets, and I got tired of the limitations in the COM API (bitness, type inference, etc...)

What follows is a redacted form of the code I have (no need to distract with SSIS and my internal structures).  Can you guys tell me if this code is a reliable method of reading a table?  if there are smallish tweaks I could make to make it more reliable, robust, future-proof?  OpenXML API specific things!  (I'm not looking for try/catch type improvements, I've redacted those.)

Some specific concerns of mine (but please comment on anything else) - is the way I'm using the "columnOffset" reliable?  I tried the column's ID, but that's not reliable if columns are inserted into the table.  Is there a built-in cell reference conversion function?  Instead of my CellReferenceToCoordinates function?

Thanks in advance!

Hi all,

Thanks for your comments

Hello,

I manage to generate an Excel file with OpenXml but I have a blocking issue in one case.
Indeed, I can write data either : only between columns A and Z or between AA and above.
If I create a very simple sheet with a value in Z1 and a value in AA1, then my Excel file refuses to open and I have the error like there is unreadable content.

But, when I look at the content of the 2 generated files (one that works, the other not), I don't see any structure difference so I am lost...
For information, in order to look into details the content of my xlsx file, I move the extension from xlsx to zip, unzip the file, and I then have access to all the architecture of xml files.

So any idea why and how to workaround please?

How can I access revisions of a document using OpenXML sdk library?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Akanksha.

Hi,

I am using OPEN XML option to export the records from a gridview to a spreadsheet. In the gridview in one of the column having a share path pdf/excel report , this path needs to get exported in the excel by marking that column value as hyperlink. 

I am new to this method please guide me on the same.

Note:- currently i am done with the export to excel using OPEN XML but waiting for the particular column value to be highlighted as hyperlink.

I am trying to create a snapshot from a full workbook downloaded from Excel services web service.  Excel services does not preserve page breaks so I am using OpenXML sdk to remove data connections from the workbook and copy/paste cell values over formulas.

All is well except that after deleting connections the workbook throws the "unreadable content" error when the user opens it in excel.  The workbook still opens and the repair message says the "connections.xml" file was repaired. The code I am using is:

     For i As Integer = wbPart.ConnectionsPart.Connections.Count - 1 To 0 Step -1
                   Dim conn As Connection = wbPart.ConnectionsPart.Connections(i)
                   conn.Deleted = True
             Next

This works fine to delete the connections, but obviously something else is required to maintain workbook integrity.  Is there another attribute of the connection node I should be changing or some other part of the workbook to update after deleting a connection?  Thanks in advance,  Marcus

I have made good progress on creating Word documents including embedding images, tables, hyperlinks, and font styling. But now I need to embed non-standard fonts files into the document, and then have a run that uses them.

Anyone with clues?  Bonus points for example c# code.
