How to delete any object in a Word DOCX document in C# .NET Framework

You may have experienced the process of interacting with DOCX files via C# before. If you have, you would know the pain and suffering that I know. Luckily for you, I have an alternate method for you to try, a shortcut if you will. Let’s dive in.

To begin, run this command in the Package console. That will allow NuGet to download and install our API client.

Install-Package Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.DocumentAndDataConvert -Version 2.2.0

Next, call EditDocumentDocxRemoveObject and provide the path to the desired object.

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.DocumentAndDataConvert.Api;
using Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.DocumentAndDataConvert.Client;
using Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.DocumentAndDataConvert.Model;
namespace Example
{
public class EditDocumentDocxRemoveObjectExample
{
public void main()
{
// Configure API key authorization: Apikey
Configuration.Default.AddApiKey("Apikey", "YOUR_API_KEY");
// Uncomment below to setup prefix (e.g. Bearer) for API key, if needed
// Configuration.Default.AddApiKeyPrefix("Apikey", "Bearer");
var apiInstance = new EditDocumentApi();
var reqConfig = new DocxRemoveObjectRequest(); // DocxRemoveObjectRequest | Document input request
try
{
// Delete any object in a Word DOCX document
DocxRemoveObjectResponse result = apiInstance.EditDocumentDocxRemoveObject(reqConfig);
Debug.WriteLine(result);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Debug.Print("Exception when calling EditDocumentApi.EditDocumentDocxRemoveObject: " + e.Message );
}
}
}
}

And that’s really all there is to it. Easy.
