I'm using the open xml sdk to replace placeholder, with the many help from stackoverflow posts I was able to find how to replace my placeholder. Changing those placeholders seems to work which I can check in the changed xml, but for some reason the document seems corrupt no matter what.
What I tried:
change my docx zo ip extract and replaced some text manually and back to zip -> docx also corrupt.
My code:
public void GenerateInvoice(TemplateViewModel viewModel)
{
//step, copy file -> read document return body -> change body -> save body -> convert to pdf
//read document
var wordReader = new DocumentReader();
//var result = wordReader.Reader(@"D:/apps/DeigonAccountancy/DeigonAccountancy/Deigon.Frontend.Blazor/Files/invoiceTemplate.docx", @"D:/apps/DeigonAccountancy/DeigonAccountancy/Deigon.Frontend.Blazor/Files/" + (viewModel.Client.FirstName + "-" + viewModel.Client.LastName) + ".docx");
if (!File.Exists(@"D:/apps/DeigonAccountancy/DeigonAccountancy/Deigon.Frontend.Blazor/Files/invoiceTemplate.docx"))
{
throw new FileNotFoundException("tbesta ni kloot");
}
File.Copy(@"D:/apps/DeigonAccountancy/DeigonAccountancy/Deigon.Frontend.Blazor/Files/invoiceTemplate.docx", @"D:/apps/DeigonAccountancy/DeigonAccountancy/Deigon.Frontend.Blazor/Files/" + (viewModel.Client.FirstName + "-" + viewModel.Client.LastName) + ".docx", false);
var stream = File.Open(@"D:/apps/DeigonAccountancy/DeigonAccountancy/Deigon.Frontend.Blazor/Files/" + (viewModel.Client.FirstName + "-" + viewModel.Client.LastName) + ".docx", FileMode.Open);
List<string> innerTexts = new List<string>();
using (WordprocessingDocument wordDocument = WordprocessingDocument.Open(stream, true))
{
//replace item
var elements = wordDocument.MainDocumentPart.Document.Body.Descendants<SdtElement>().ToList();
foreach (var item in elements)
{
switch (item.InnerText)
{
case nameof(TemplateOptions.UserDivision):
//replace alias
//var alias = item.Descendants<SdtAlias>().FirstOrDefault();
//alias.Val.Value = viewModel.Category.Name;
//replace child element
//var run = item.Descendants<SdtContentRun>().FirstOrDefault();
//run.Parent.ReplaceChild(new Run(new Text(viewModel.Category.Name)),run);
//var innerRun = run.Descendants<Run>().FirstOrDefault();
//var text = run.Descendants<Text>().FirstOrDefault();
//text.Text = viewModel.Category.Name;
var runs = wordDocument.MainDocumentPart.Document.Body.Descendants<Run>().FirstOrDefault();
var text = runs.Descendants<Text>().FirstOrDefault();
text.Text = text.Text.Replace("DEIGON", "TEST");
break;
case nameof(TemplateOptions.ClientAddress):
break;
case nameof(TemplateOptions.ClientCompany):
break;
case nameof(TemplateOptions.ClientVat):
break;
case nameof(TemplateOptions.HourlyRate):
break;
case nameof(TemplateOptions.InvoiceComments):
break;
case nameof(TemplateOptions.InvoiceDate):
break;
case nameof(TemplateOptions.InvoiceHours):
break;
case nameof(TemplateOptions.InvoiceId):
break;
case nameof(TemplateOptions.InvoicePrice):
break;
case nameof(TemplateOptions.InvoiceTotalExclusive):
break;
case nameof(TemplateOptions.InvoiceTotalInclusive):
break;
case nameof(TemplateOptions.InvoiceTotalVat):
break;
case nameof(TemplateOptions.UserBIC):
break;
case nameof(TemplateOptions.UserIBAN):
break;
case nameof(TemplateOptions.UserRightsPolicy):
break;
default:
break;
}
}
wordDocument.Save();
}
//wordReader.SaveChanges(@"D:/apps/DeigonAccountancy/DeigonAccountancy/Deigon.Frontend.Blazor/Files/" + (viewModel.Client.FirstName + "-" + viewModel.Client.LastName) + ".docx", result);
}
The simple text replacement worked: Difference check:
Does anyone know why at the end my document is corrupt?

You never Close or Dispose the stream
.
The easiest solution would be to use the WordprocessingDocument.Open(<fileName>, ...)
overload and eliminate the stream. Otherwise, give the stream its own using() { }
block..
