The following example shows how to open and read a Package that contains PackageRelationship and PackagePart elements together with stored data. For the complete sample, see Reading a Package Sample.
// Open the Package. // ('using' statement insures that 'package' is // closed and disposed when it goes out of scope.) using (Package package = Package.Open(packagePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)) { PackagePart documentPart = null; PackagePart resourcePart = null; // Get the Package Relationships and look for // the Document part based on the RelationshipType Uri uriDocumentTarget = null; foreach (PackageRelationship relationship in package.GetRelationshipsByType(PackageRelationshipType)) { // Resolve the Relationship Target Uri // so the Document Part can be retrieved. uriDocumentTarget = PackUriHelper.ResolvePartUri( new Uri("/", UriKind.Relative), relationship.TargetUri); // Open the Document Part, write the contents to a file. documentPart = package.GetPart(uriDocumentTarget); ExtractPart(documentPart, targetDirectory); } // Get the Document part's Relationships, // and look for required resources. Uri uriResourceTarget = null; foreach (PackageRelationship relationship in documentPart.GetRelationshipsByType( ResourceRelationshipType)) { // Resolve the Relationship Target Uri // so the Resource Part can be retrieved. uriResourceTarget = PackUriHelper.ResolvePartUri( documentPart.Uri, relationship.TargetUri); // Open the Resource Part and write the contents to a file. resourcePart = package.GetPart(uriResourceTarget); ExtractPart(resourcePart, targetDirectory); } }// end:using(Package package) - Close & dispose package.
