locating ang extracting images inside word table

[vgurunathaprasadParticipant]

Hi,

I am using the following code to locate image in a table.

using (var document = WordprocessingDocument.Open(fileName, true)) {
                var docPart = document.MainDocumentPart;
                var doc = docPart.Document;

                DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Wordprocessing.Table myTable = doc.Body.Descendants<DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Wordprocessing.Table>().First();

                List<Paragraph> paras = myTable.Descendants<DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Wordprocessing.Paragraph>().ToList();
                
                foreach (Paragraph p in paras) {
                    string d = p.InnerXml;
                    if (d.Contains("w:drawing")) { 
                        Console.WriteLine("this paragraph contains image"); 
                        
                       //Need Code to extract the image inside the <w:drawing> element

                    }
                    else Console.WriteLine("this paragraph does not contains image");
                }
            }

Is this the right way.

One more thing: I want to extract the image in that paragraph whenever the code finds one

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Personally, I would use an XML parser to find all of the descendant w:drawing elements. I would not use the strongly-typed OM of the Open-Xml-Sdk for this. I would use LINQ to XML for this.

Your code will work, but looking through text of XML for specific patterns probably isn’t the best way to proceed.
