Update CustomXmlPart does not Update the Linked Content Control (SDT)

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hi


I have the following Document created in MS Word:
- A content control that is linked to a CustomXmlPart
- The CustomXmlPart that is linked from the content control

Now I update CustomXmlPart using Aspose (11.5).

But the Resulting PDF does not have the updated text in it.

We had a similar issue with document variables, properties etc. where we just called Document.UpdateFields() after updating the values and it worked.

But this does not help with the Content Controls.

Is this a bug?
Or is there a way to force an update of content controls?

Thanks
Philipp

Hi
Philipp,


Thanks for your patience. You’re right; Aspose.Words currently doesn’t support databining and content update from customXml to Sdt in SDT controls. Your request has been linked to the appropriate new feature (WORDSNET-4738) in our issue tracking system and you will be notified as soon as it is supported. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi Awais


Thanks for your reply, so I don’t have to provide the code to reproduce anymore?
Sorry for my late reply. I was on vacation for a week…

Hi Awais


Here is the code (of course it is simplified compared to our real implementation) but it’s what happens with the aspose document object in our use case

            var stream = this.resourceLoader.LoadResourceAsStream(typeof(When_updating_custom_xml_parts), “ContentControlTemplate.docx”);

        <span style="color:blue;">var</span> document = <span style="color:blue;">new</span> <span style="color:darkblue;">Document</span>(stream);

        <span style="color:blue;">var</span> customXmlPart = document.<span style="color:purple;">CustomXmlParts</span>.<span style="color:darkcyan;">Cast</span><<span style="color:darkblue;">CustomXmlPart</span>>().<span style="color:darkcyan;">Where</span>(cxp => cxp.<span style="color:purple;">Schemas</span>[0] == <span style="color:#a31515;">"FirstNamespace"</span>).<span style="color:darkcyan;">Single</span>();
        <span style="color:blue;">var</span> xml = <span style="color:darkblue;">XDocument</span>.<span style="color:darkcyan;">Load</span>(<span style="color:blue;">new</span> <span style="color:darkblue;">MemoryStream</span>(customXmlPart.<span style="color:purple;">Data</span>));

        <span style="color:blue;">var</span> nsManager = <span style="color:darkcyan;">GetXmlNamespaceManagerFor</span>(<span style="color:#a31515;">"FirstNamespace"</span>);

        xml.<span style="color:purple;">Root</span>.<span style="color:darkcyan;">XPathSelectElement</span>(<span style="font-weight:bold;color:purple;">XPathNamespacePrefix</span> + <span style="color:#a31515;">":Expression"</span>, nsManager).<span style="color:purple;">Value</span> = <span style="color:#a31515;">"first value"</span>;

        document.<span style="color:darkcyan;">Save</span>(<span style="color:#a31515;">@"C:\temp\contentControl.pdf"</span>, <span style="color:blue;">new</span> <span style="color:darkblue;">PdfSaveOptions</span>());
