AppendHtml throws nullreferenceexception

[Péter N]

DocIO throws nullreference exception when I try to append Html content to a paragraph.

I am near deadline, which version is working?

  a következő helyen: Syncfusion.DocIO.DLS.HTMLConverterImpl.AppendToTextBody(ITextBody textBody, String html, Int32 paragraphIndex, Int32 paragraphItemIndex)

   a következő helyen: Syncfusion.DocIO.DLS.HTMLConverterImpl.AppendToTextBody(ITextBody textBody, String html, Int32 paragraphIndex, Int32 paragraphItemIndex, IWParagraphStyle style, ListStyle listStyle)

   a következő helyen: Syncfusion.DocIO.DLS.WParagraph.AppendHTML(String html)

   a következő helyen: Controllers.HomeController.Index() hely: HomeController.cs, sor: 324

   a következő helyen: lambda_method(Closure , ControllerBase , Object[] )

   a következő helyen: System.Web.Mvc.ActionMethodDispatcher.Execute(ControllerBase controller, Object[] parameters)

   a következő helyen: System.Web.Mvc.ReflectedActionDescriptor.Execute(ControllerContext controllerContext, IDictionary`2 parameters)

   a következő helyen: System.Web.Mvc.ControllerActionInvoker.InvokeActionMethod(ControllerContext controllerContext, ActionDescriptor actionDescriptor, IDictionary`2 parameters)

   a következő helyen: System.Web.Mvc.Async.AsyncControllerActionInvoker.AsyncInvocationWithFilters.<>c__DisplayClass11_2.b__2()

EDIT: additional info, the code:

var par = new WParagraph(wordDocument);

par.AppendHTML(Content);

Thank you for the response. You can try this:

using Syncfusion.DocIO.DLS;

namespace DocIONull

{

    class Program

    {

        static void Main(string[] args)

        {

            WordDocument document = new WordDocument();

            document.EnsureMinimal();

            document.AddSection().AddParagraph().AppendText("#TEST#");

            IWParagraph paragraph = new WParagraph(document);

            paragraph.AppendHTML("<p>NullReferenceException</p>");

            TextBodyPart bodyPart = new TextBodyPart(document);

            bodyPart.BodyItems.Add(paragraph);

            document.Replace("#TEST#", bodyPart, true, true);

            document.Save("null.docx");

        }

    }

}

Hi Peter,

Thank you for sharing us the details.

When appending HTML content in paragraph, the HTML content may contain multiple paragraphs, tables or other body items. Essential DocIO appends the HTML contents (multiple paragraphs, tables) following with the current paragraph in body of Word document, which is one of the behavior in appending HTML contents. The reported problem occurs due to appending new paragraph (from HTML content) with the paragraph which doesn’t linked with the body of the Word document.


To append the HTML with Word document, we suggest you to append the HTML contents after linked with body of the Word document. Thus, it appends the body items along with existing body items in the TextBodyPart properly. Please refer the below highlighted code example to resolve the problem at your end: 

WordDocument document = new WordDocument(); 

document.EnsureMinimal(); 

document.AddSection().AddParagraph().AppendText("#TEST#"); 

IWParagraph paragraph = new WParagraph(document); 

TextBodyPart bodyPart = new TextBodyPart(document); 

bodyPart.BodyItems.Add(paragraph); 

paragraph.AppendHTML("<p>NullReferenceException</p>"); 

document.Replace("#TEST#", bodyPart, true, true); 

document.Save("null.docx"); 

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Thank you!

Suggestion:

Handle this situation and throw InvalidOperationException("Any helpfull message") when someone tries to append HTML before the paragraph attached.
