Exception was thrown because the .NET instance method DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Wordprocessing.Document.Descendants was not found during CIL generation

I need to work on OpenXml to generate a word document from AX using a template. I got a sample code in C# and I have written the same code in x++ and it seems to be working fine but I am having a strange issue.

The line where we are fetching descendants (document.MainDocumentPart.Document.Descendants()), it does not execute the code, it just stops the execution. On generating CIL it gives a warning "Exception was thrown because the .NET instance method DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Wordprocessing.Document.Descendants was not found during CIL generation". I am pretty sure this is the reason the code is not executing. 

I checked the references, Document.OpenXml reference is available. Need to know what could be the possible cause for this warning.

    Hello,

    Can you try by restarting the AOS service and  do Tools | Caches | Refresh elements and refresh Dictionary.

    Best,

    Probably you are not using the same version of OpenXML assembly I am using, Did you get it from Nuget?

    1- Check point 4 in my blog post regarding the subject: 

    How to generate and populate data to Word documents using OpenXML and X++ in Dynamics 365 for Operations

    2- Check the assembly got copied here: C:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory\Bin

    3- Try what Srinivas Ramidi said.

    Hi Hichem

    Brother I am using Ax 2012, and OpenXml is already referenced in AOT references. Still when I get this warning when I generate CIL and code is exiting when it executes the descendants code. I tried restarting everything.

    Is there any source where I can get latest OpenXml dll and add reference to AOT ?
