Load XML or DOCX Word Document from Stream & Get All Text Content using C# .NET

When trying to open a particular file using the below code the code hangs on the constructor until the thread is killed after two hours. Clearly there is an issue with the way the contents of the file are being handled but it would be great fi ti could either successfully open the file or thrown an exception. Happy to share the file but can’t see an option to do so.

using (var memoryStream = new MemoryStream(sourceBytes))
{
      var doc = new Document(memoryStream);
      fileContents = doc.GetText();
}
