XmlNamespaceManager problem with Office OpenXML format

[peterloh]

Hi,

I'm trying to read a simple Word 2007 document with the contents of
"This is a test."

Could someone please enlighten me about why the following code doesn't
work...

Dim strXMLDocument As String = "<?xml version=""1.0""
encoding=""UTF-8"" standalone=""yes""?><w:document
xmlns:ve=""http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006""
xmlns:o=""urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office""
xmlns:r=""http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships""
xmlns:m=""http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/math""
xmlns:v=""urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml""
xmlns:wp=""http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/drawingml/2006/wordprocessingDrawing""
xmlns:w10=""urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word""
xmlns:w=""http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main""
xmlns:wne=""http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2006/wordml""><w:body><w:p
w:rsidR=""003B4AAB"" w:rsidRDefault=""003B4AAB""><w:r><w:t>This is a
test.</w:t></w:r></w:p><w:sectPr w:rsidR=""003B4AAB""
w:rsidSect=""003B4AAB""><w:pgSz w:w=""11906"" w:h=""16838""/><w:pgMar
w:top=""1440"" w:right=""1440"" w:bottom=""1440"" w:left=""1440""
w:header=""708"" w:footer=""708"" w:gutter=""0""/><w:cols
w:space=""708""/><w:docGrid
w:linePitch=""360""/></w:sectPr></w:body></w:document>"

Dim xmdTest As New XmlDocument
xmdTest.LoadXml(strXMLDocument)

Dim nt As New NameTable
Dim nsManager As New XmlNamespaceManager(nt)
nsManager.AddNamespace("w",
"http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/3/main")

For Each xmnSomething As XmlNode In
xmdTest.SelectNodes("/w:document/w:body/w:p/w:r/w:t", nsManager)
Console.WriteLine(xmnSomething.InnerText)
Next

Thanks,

Peter
