I am trying to form ribbon XML with the data from the database and following is what I wrote:-
XNamespace xNameSpace = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui";
XDocument document = new XDocument();
document.Add( new XElement (xNameSpace+"customUI"
, new XElement("ribbon"
, new XElement("tabs"))));
// more code to add the groups and the controls with-in the groups
.......
// code below to add ribbon XML to the document and to add the relationship
RibbonExtensibilityPart ribbonExtensibilityPart = myDoc.AddNewPart<RibbonExtensibilityPart>();
ribbonExtensibilityPart.CustomUI = new DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Office.CustomUI.CustomUI(ribbonXml.ToString());
myDoc.CreateRelationshipToPart(ribbonExtensibilityPart);
I don't see any error executing the above. However, when I open the changed document, I dont see my ribbon added. I see following in the CustomUI/CustomUI.xml inside the word:-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui">
<ribbon xmlns="">
<tabs>
.....
I am not sure how the "xmlns" attribute is getting added to the ribbon element. When I remove that attribute, the ribbon gets showed.
Could anybody throw any idea on where am I going wrong?
