adding header using OpenXML SDK2.0

can anyone tell how to add header and footer to a wordML document?with an example

code:

using (WordprocessingDocument package = WordprocessingDocument.Create(docName, DocumentFormat.OpenXml.WordprocessingDocumentType.Document))
           {

                package.AddMainDocumentPart();

                package.MainDocumentPart.Document =
                    new Document(
                        new Body(new Header(new Paragraph(
                                new Run(
                                    new Text("hello"))))));

                package.MainDocumentPart.Document.Save();
               }
i tried with the above code....but the header is not visible in the document.what be the solution for this?

Try adding a new PackagePart. The code sample here may help although you need to abstract it from the SharePoint usage:

you may take a look at this and refer to the "create" part of the code.

note: this code is on top of SDK 1.0.

hope it helps:)

I managed to get a header added to my document using this method (with SDK 2.0). Adding a footer should be a similar process.

public void CreateDocument()
{
using (WordprocessingDocument wordDoc = WordprocessingDocument.Create("test.docx", WordprocessingDocumentType.Document))
{
      MainDocumentPart mainPart = wordDoc.AddMainDocumentPart();
      Document d = new Document();
      Body b = new Body();
      Table tbl = new Table();
      TableProperties tblPr = new TableProperties();
      TableCellMarginDefault tblCellMar = new TableCellMarginDefault();
      tblCellMar.TopMargin = new TopMargin { Width = 0, Type = TableWidthUnitValues.Dxa };
      tblCellMar.RightMargin = new RightMargin { Width = 120, Type = TableWidthUnitValues.Dxa };
      tblCellMar.BottomMargin = new BottomMargin { Width = 0, Type = TableWidthUnitValues.Dxa };
      tblCellMar.LeftMargin = new LeftMargin { Width = 120, Type = TableWidthUnitValues.Dxa };
      TableRow tr = new TableRow();
      TableCell tc = new TableCell();
      Paragraph p = new Paragraph();
      Run r = new Run();
      Text t = new Text();
      t.Text = "This is text in a table cell.";
      r.Append(t);
      p.Append(r);
      tc.Append(p);
      tr.Append(tc);
      tblPr.Append(tblCellMar);
      tbl.Append(tblPr);
      tbl.Append(tr);
      b.Append(tbl);
      d.Append(b);

      HeaderPart hp = mainPart.AddNewPart<HeaderPart>();
      string relId = mainPart.GetIdOfPart(hp);
      SectionProperties sectPr = new SectionProperties();
      HeaderReference headerReference = new HeaderReference();
      headerReference.Id = relId;
      sectPr.Append(headerReference);

      d.Append(sectPr);
      mainPart.Document = d;
      mainPart.Document.Save();
      hp.Header = GetHeader();
      hp.Header.Save();

      wordDoc.Close();
   }
}

public Header GetHeader()
{
   Header h = new Header();
   Paragraph p = new Paragraph();
   Run r = new Run();
   Text t = new Text();
   t.Text = "This is the header.";
   r.Append(t);
   p.Append(r);
   h.Append(p);
   return h;
}

Stuart.

thank you stuart....it works

Noob question but does this work for modifying an existing document?

all I'm doing that is different is instead of this

      d.Append(sectPr);
      mainPart.Document = d;
      mainPart.Document.Save();

I simply do this

      mainPart.Document.Append(hdrSecProps);
      mainPart.Document.Save();
where mainPart is part from an open existing document that I'm doing some simple content control changes to. When I run the code no header shows. I've tried a few things including removing header parts before I add this header part but no luck.

Thanks

Hello Z - I know this is an old post but I am working through the exact same issue. I made the same change you did to update the header of an existing document. Were ever able to find a solution?

Thanks.
