The goal is to apply the Document Builder tools and learn how to build up a word doc from various xml parts or from other sections.
I open the OpenXmlPowerToolsExamples solution in VS2015, then following one of Eric’s videos try to utilize the DocumentAssembler01 project.
FAIL!! using System.IO.
packaging is not found in the system.io namespace. Are you missing an assembly reference?
but in the Open-XML-SDK I set it up, following the video, ran all tests, taking about 20 minutes, back in the examples solution I replaced the System.IO.Packaging reference with one from the openxmlsdk solution.
no.
How can you create the development platform from scratch so that it can use the examples? One solution I have to create now is to take the custom table and bar chart that the code produces, and do this for all projects. so the data comes from a table, then I pick out certain parts to build a grid of info, and the custom stacked barchart.
But I cannot even get the basics going
Seriously, what does it take to get an example to run????
I go download the Open-Xml-PowerTools-4-1-3 and extract and try to build the example to follow along with the video, DocumentAssembler01
Im not adding anything, just trying to follow the steps as given. build errors!
1. System.IO.packaging; there is no “packaging” within System.IO
type or namespace name ‘Packaging’ does not exist in the namespace ‘System.IO’. (are you missing an assembly reference?) Using directive is unnecessary.
2. you must add a reference to WindowsBase v4.0.0.0 [this step I did]
the video says get the example, then build them, but it doesnt work
what the documentation didnt say was you go into Tools, Nuget, manage packages for solution, add:
openxmlpowertools by Eric White
openxmlsdk-mot by microsoft open technologies
and apparently system.management.automation by microsoft (unofficial and unsupported) these are checked.
now it will build
