MainDocumentPart.Annotation returns null

[Manu_TRParticipant]

Hello,

Here is the code snippet where it is returning null.

XDocument doc = wordDoc.MainDocumentPart.GetXDocument();

public static XDocument GetXDocument(this OpenXmlPart part)
{
XDocument xdoc = part.Annotation<XDocument>();
}

Could someone please tell me why am i getting xdoc as null? this is veru urgent. Thanks in advance

Hello,

Storing XDocument objects as an annotation on the part is a common technique – it is the approach that Open-Xml-PowerTools uses. Where did you get this code? Are you using Open-Xml-PowerTools?

yes, I am using Open-Xml-PowerTools.

I don’t have enough information in order to develop a theory about your issue. Why are you writing code to get the annotation, instead of calling GetXDocument on the part?

A good way to start is from one of the existing, working Open-Xml-PowerTools examples. They work out-of-the-box, and then you make modifications to the code, customizing to your scenario.
