Question

This is xml content.

<w:tbl xmlns:w="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main">
  <w:tr>
      <w:tc>
         <w:p>
           <w:r><w:t>1</w:t></w:r>
         </w:p>
         <w:p /> <!-- needs to remove -->
         <w:p /> <!-- needs to remove -->
       </w:tc>
       <w:tc>
         <w:p>
           <w:r><w:t>2</w:t></w:r>
         </w:p>
         <w:p />  <!-- needs to remove -->
         <w:p />  <!-- needs to remove -->
       </w:tc>
  </w:tr>
  <w:tr>
      <w:tc>
         <w:p>
           <w:r><w:t>3</w:t></w:r>
         </w:p>
         <w:p />  <!-- needs to remove -->
         <w:p />  <!-- needs to remove -->
       </w:tc>
       <w:tc>
         <w:p>
           <w:r><w:t>4</w:t></w:r>
         </w:p>
         <w:p />  <!-- needs to remove -->
         <w:p />  <!-- needs to remove -->
       </w:tc>
  </w:tr>
</w:tbl>

Actually this xml content are generated by html to ooxml converter[HtmlToOpenXml.dll].But it wrongly added the two <w:p> elements at end of the every <w:tc> elements.So, i want to remove those <w:p> elements from the xml content generated by the converter.I have the xml content in string format.

Please guide me to get out of this issue…

Can you just use a string replace?

xmlString.Replace("<w:p />", "");
