hi,

am getting this error(Cannot insert the OpenXmlElement "newChild" because it is part of a tree.) when i try to give border values to the table.

here is my code,

banupriya

I have a word document file in which I added a Section Break of Next Page, now I want to change the header and footer of that page.

Scenario of example, I have a doc file which has four pages with headers and footers and added fifth page in the section break next page, I want to change the header and footer of the fifth page only. This is achievable manually by deselecting the Link to Previous button in the Word Application but I don't know how to change it using XML?

My code that adds the new page in the section breaks is:

class Program
	{
		static void Main(string[] args)
		{

			string path = @"C:\Riyaz\sample.docx";
			string strtxt = "Hello This is done by programmatically";

		   OpenAndAddTextToWordDocument(path,strtxt);
		}
		public static void OpenAndAddTextToWordDocument(string filepath, string txt)
		{

			using (DocX document = DocX.Load(@"C:\Riyaz\sample.docx"))
			{
				document.InsertSectionPageBreak();
				Paragraph p1 = document.InsertParagraph();
				p1.Append("This is new section");
				document.Save();
			}
		}
	}

Please help.

Hi Everyone, 

 I have a problem when using the WordProcessingDocument object together with a MemoryStream object. 

 My code is the following. 

MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(loanDocumentViewModel.DocumentContent);

            //using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(data)) //;MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(dc.DocumentContent))
            //{
            using (WordprocessingDocument doc = WordprocessingDocument.Open(stream, true))
            //using (WordprocessingDocument doc = WordprocessingDocument.Open(@"Documents\OtherDocuments\copy.docx", true))
            {

              DocumentSettingsPart docSett = doc.MainDocumentPart.DocumentSettingsPart;
                docSett.RootElement.Append(new DocumentProtection { Edit = DocumentProtectionValues.ReadOnly });
                docSett.RootElement.Save();

                doc.MainDocumentPart.Document.Save();
            }

The dc.DocumentContent is a Array readed from a Database. 

When I save my object into the Database again and open it. 

   Word is telling me that the file is corrupt, but It can be opened. 

Any clues on what wrong with the code?

I have tried to do the same operation, with a plain file and that works perfectly. 

Best Regards

I need to be able to identify specific pages in a Word doc by parsing the document.xml. I thought I could use the lastRenderedPageBreak to find the end of a page, and this seems to work in a single column layout. However, if I change the doc layout to two column layout, the lastRenderedPageBreak appears twice in a single page. This is further complicated by adding a Textbox to the Word doc - if the text box overlaps the column border then lastRenderedPageBreak will only appear once for that two column page. Therefore, it would seem that lastRenderedPageBreak is not suitable for identifying pages in document.xml.

Can anyone advise on a better way to identify specific pages in document.xml? I am using Word 2007.

Thanks.

My requirement is to export huge records with rows equal to 5 lakhs. I was using OpenXml approach like this :

But now i have requirements in which data to be exported can be up to 10 lakh records with substantial number of columns. So i had to implement OpenXml Sax type approach as DOM approach is bit slow and memory consuming in case of large data.

I couldn't find any helpful link which shows me how to use that approach and convert data table/data set to excel. In most link they are using existing spreadsheet to create new excel. Can anyone provide changes to be made to above code to implement SAX approach or any link regarding the same.

Any help is deeply appreciated
Thanks

Hi,

I have looked into the specification ISO/IEC 29500-1:2012 and i understand that the attribute Target for the element Relationship can be set to NULL at times(Empty header and footer in the specification).

Now, i have stumbled on Target being NULL also when inserting a diagram into a word document. For example:

<Relationship Id="rId3" Type="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships/oleObject"Target="NULL" TargetMode="External" xmlns="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/package/2006/relationships" />

I'm using Open xml sdk and i'm trying to create a relationship. My question is how i should resolve the target which i think should point to the diagram/chart that i inserted.

Br,

Hi,

I've looked around for the answer to this, but have been unable to get anything, so probably looking in the wrong places.

I generate OpenXML worksheets as reports, and some may have stylesheets applied to match the source content defined, or contain charts.

Now the problem is that, while I get the XLSX file generated correctly with all content required, when opening the file in Excel, no menus or buttons are clickableat all - they are not disabled, they are just not clickable. This is the case whether or not I apply a style sheet.

using OpenXML SDK 2.5, Excel 2010

thanks

Hi,

I have defined columns something like this:

Worksheet worksheet = new Worksheet(); 

Columns xlCols = new Columns(); 
Column xlCol = new Column(); 
xlCol.Width = 20; 
xlCol.BestFit = true; 
xlCol.CustomWidth = true; 
xlCol.Min = 2; 
xlCol.Max = 6; 
xlCols.Append(xlCol); 

xlCol = new Column(); 
xlCol.Width = 30; 
xlCol.BestFit = true; 
xlCol.CustomWidth = true; 
xlCol.Min = 7; 
xlCol.Max = 9; 
xlCols.Append(xlCol); 

worksheet.Append(xlCols); 

Eventhough BestFit = true, still all columns width is 30 only.

and I cannot find anything such as

xlCols.AutoFit(); in openxml sdk

Could someone please help me on this?

I see that documents with Thumbnails have a Thumbnail.wmf image in docProps (see image). How would I use OpenXML to extract and save this image to show a thumbnail on a web page?

I am attempting to convert a word document to text using OpenXml sdk. Are there any examples of how to do this?

I can open the file, and get the body, but there is no formatting.

OpenSettingsos =newOpenSettings();

WordprocessingDocumentdoc =WordprocessingDocument.Open(fileName,false, os);

Bodybody = doc.MainDocumentPart.Document.Body;

I need to create an openxml spreadsheet from a dataset and stream it back to a browser using asp.net (vb.net).

I can't seem to find anyway to create the spreadsheet to a memory stream without first creating the physical file and saving that to a stream (using openxml anyway). Can someone point me in the right direction?

Hello Team,

I have used OpenXml to update a sheet in excel file. I have achieved this by referring the MSDN

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh180830(v=office.14).aspx

Now i am updating an excel cell with large text separated by '\n'. I need to set theWrap Text to the cell through OpenXMl C#. With out wrap text the string is appearing in one line which is disappointed.

I have tried to add a style sheet through code, i got exception "only one instance can be allowed"

Please provide a solution to give wrap text to a cell in excel using open xml. My code is similar to the MSDN 

Any help is appritiated

Thanks & Regards,

Hello,

After having solved my first issue on openxml tht was due to a bug in the microsoft samples here : https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/47e6023f-361d-41e9-9a51-87a41fa7080d/pb-for-writing-data-in-both-z-and-aa-columns?forum=oxmlsdk

I am coming with a new question. I am generating the following stylesheet :

public static Stylesheet GenerateStyleSheet()
        {
            return new Stylesheet(
                new Fonts(
                    new Font(                                                               // Index 0 - The default font.
                        new FontSize() { Val = 11 },
                        new Color() { Rgb = new HexBinaryValue() { Value = "00000000" } },
                        new FontName() { Val = "Calibri" }),
                    new Font(                                                               // Index 1 - The bold font.
                        new Bold(),
                        new FontSize() { Val = 11 },
                        new Color() { Rgb = new HexBinaryValue() { Value = "00000000" } },
                        new FontName() { Val = "Calibri" })
                ),
                new Fills(
                    new Fill(                                                           // Index 0 - The default fill.
                        new PatternFill() { PatternType = PatternValues.None })
                ),
                new Borders(
                    new Border(                                                         // Index 0 - The default border.
                        new LeftBorder(),
                        new RightBorder(),
                        new TopBorder(),
                        new BottomBorder(),
                        new DiagonalBorder())
                ),
                new CellFormats(
                    new CellFormat() { FontId = 0, FillId = 0, BorderId = 0 },                          // Index 0 - The default cell style.
                    new CellFormat() { FontId = 1, FillId = 0, BorderId = 0, ApplyFont = true }       // Index 1 - Bold
                    , new CellFormat() { FontId = 0, FillId = 0, BorderId = 0, ApplyNumberFormat = true }
                )
            ); // return
        }

And when I want to write in bold, I put "cell.StyleIndex = (UInt32Value)1U" and in normal, I put "cell.StyleIndex = (UInt32Value)2U"

This works fine when I write a number via  : string val1="10000.12345"

It doesn't work if I put : double val2 = 10000.12345; val2.ToString() (because here val2.ToString() returns "10000,12345" (so with a comma instead of a dot))

I would like now to format my numbers when we open my Excel file with string.Format("{0:#,0.00}", val1) and that a " "(space) be the thousand separator.

When I look at the proposed code by Open XML SDK 2.5 Productivity Tool when I open an Excel file that contains just one cell with the format that I want, I don't see anything related to the thousand separator nor with having 2 decimals places.

Can you tell me which stylesheet I should create in order to see what I want ?

Thanks for your help.

For the file at simba.windward.net/temp/Bug_17475.docx

How can I figure out what is wrong with it? The Open XML SDK won't even open it. So no clues as to what is wrong.

Hello,

How can I achieve the same visual result as discussed here : https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/85ff2122-6996-4a84-b618-7b9c4bd7439f/how-to-apply-a-custom-formatting-with-openxml-?forum=oxmlsdk but with the cell being computable (recognized as a number and being able to be used for calculations) once we open the created file with Excel ?

Thanks for your help,

Hello,

I am following the example given by Microsoft here but I get the error "Cannot save DOM tree since this element is not associated with an OpenXmlPart" when it tries to save the stringTable. Do you know what I am doing wrong and how to correct it please? Thank you.

I have created a word template as follows

Here PizzaPicture is a Picture Content Control, PizzaName is a Plain Text Content Control and PizzaDescription is a Rich Text Content Control

I am able to assign text to PizzaName and PizzaDescription Easily but not able to even locate the PizzaPicture. Here is my code

using (WordprocessingDocument document = WordprocessingDocument.Open(@".\test.docx", true)) {

                MainDocumentPart mainPart = document.MainDocumentPart;
                DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Wordprocessing.Text text = null;
                SdtContentBlock pizzaNameBlock = null;
                SdtContentBlock pizzaDescriptionBlock = null;//SdtContentBlock pizzaPictureBlock = null;  

                List<SdtBlock> sdtList = mainPart.Document.Descendants<SdtBlock>().ToList();foreach (SdtBlock sdt in sdtList)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(sdt.SdtProperties.GetFirstChild<Tag>().Val.Value);
                }

                SdtBlock s1 = mainPart.Document.Body.Descendants<SdtBlock>().Where(r => r.SdtProperties.GetFirstChild<Tag>().Val == "PizzaName").Single();
                SdtBlock s2 = mainPart.Document.Body.Descendants<SdtBlock>().Where(r => r.SdtProperties.GetFirstChild<Tag>().Val == "PizzaDescription").Single();
                SdtBlock s3 = mainPart.Document.Body.Descendants<SdtBlock>().FirstOrDefault(r =>
                {
                    SdtProperties p = r.Elements<SdtProperties>().FirstOrDefault();if (p != null)
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine("P is not null");// Is it a picture content control?
                        SdtContentPicture pict =
                            p.Elements<SdtContentPicture>().FirstOrDefault();if (pict != null) Console.WriteLine("Pict is not null");// Get the alias.
                        SdtAlias a = p.Elements<SdtAlias>().FirstOrDefault();if (pict != null&& a.Val == "PizzaPicture")returntrue;
                    }returnfalse;
                });if (s3 == null) {
                    Console.Write(" s3 is Null");
                } else {
                    Console.WriteLine("s3 not null");
                }if (s1 != null) {
                    pizzaNameBlock = s1.Descendants<SdtContentBlock>().FirstOrDefault();
                    text = pizzaNameBlock.Descendants<DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Wordprocessing.Text>().FirstOrDefault();// here you can set the current time
                    text.Text = "Peperoni";
                    Console.WriteLine(text.Text);
                }string embed = null;if (s3 != null)
                {
                    Drawing dr = s3.Descendants<Drawing>().FirstOrDefault();if (dr != null)
                    {
                        Blip blip = dr.Descendants<Blip>().FirstOrDefault();if (blip != null)
                            embed = blip.Embed;
                    }
                }if (embed != null)
                {
                    IdPartPair idpp = document.MainDocumentPart.Parts
                        .Where(pa => pa.RelationshipId == embed).FirstOrDefault();if (idpp != null)
                    {
                        ImagePart ip = (ImagePart)idpp.OpenXmlPart;using (FileStream fileStream =
                            File.Open(@"c:\temp\pepperoni.jpg", FileMode.Open))
                            ip.FeedData(fileStream);
                    }
                }if (s2 != null) {
                    pizzaDescriptionBlock = s2.Descendants<SdtContentBlock>().FirstOrDefault();string altChunkId = "AltChunkId12345";
                    AlternativeFormatImportPart chunk = mainPart.AddAlternativeFormatImportPart(AlternativeFormatImportPartType.Xhtml, altChunkId);
                    chunk.FeedData(File.Open(@".\html.txt", FileMode.Open));
                    AltChunk altChunk = new AltChunk();
                    altChunk.Id = altChunkId;////Replace content control with altChunk information                
                    OpenXmlElement parent = pizzaDescriptionBlock.Parent;
                    parent.InsertAfter(altChunk, pizzaDescriptionBlock);
                    pizzaDescriptionBlock.Remove();
                }

                mainPart.Document.Save();
                document.Close();
            }

Here the call mainPart.Document.Descendants<SdtBlock>().ToList(); returns me only 2 items PizzaName, PizzaDescription butno PizzaPicture.

Secondly the line   SdtContentPicture pict =  p.Elements<SdtContentPicture>().FirstOrDefault();returns NULL. So it seems that there is no element of type SdtContentPicture.

What am I doing wrong? I am pretty sure that I have put PizzaPicture as a Picture content control.

My objective is to locate this control in the document and then insert an image into it programmatically.
