Thanks for this tool! I hope it will really help me understand working with these OOXML formats.

I have an issue using it though. Whenever I click on an xml file in Document Explorer, the middle of the window (where the content would be) blinks and then remains the dark gray blankness. Everything else seems to be working fine -- document explorer, properties, validation, etc.

The zip I downloadedfrom here did not have any installer or ReadMe in it. Also the exe was blocked until I clicked File Properties / Unblock on it.

Is there anything else I need to install to make this work?

Created Issue: Validate crashes if document contains altChunk

Apparently it attempts to treat it as an XML document, while it can be several types of document: html, xml or in my case: docx.

This is the exception:
Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.

New Post: Pfx password

DevilDog74 — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 15:58:20 GMT

Yes, here is what I did.

-- For each project that uses the pfx file go into project properties and uncheck the "Sign Assembly" check box.
-- Replace all explicit public key references from the .addin files with PublicKey=null

The xml element below shows how I changed one of the public key token elements for the DocumentInspector addin.

a:Assembly path="PackageExplorer.AddIns.DocumentInspector, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=Neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" />

Another thing to keep in mind is that this project uses addins heavily. So the creator of the project has hacked up each project so that its build output directory just so happens to build all the addins into the bin directory of the shell application (projectexplorer.csproj).

The last thing that was very bizzare, is that the Core projet uses RC.exe in the prebuild events. I had to change this path to...
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin\RC.Exe" /r "$(ProjectDir)StartPage.rc"

Does this answer your question?

In the source code there is a pfx certificat file that is included in the source. My solution will not compile without the password to this file.

Should I simply replace the existing pfx file with my own?
