EventHandlers not firing inside ThisDocument class in Word

I have a strange problem. I have a Word Document project in which I have wired up an event handler called MedicalDocumentNode_ContextEnter for a node called MedicalDocument. This normally works great.

However, if I access the XML of the word document within my ThisDocument class, by doing the following (as an example):

MessageBox.Show(Application.Selection.get_XML(false));

It seems to cause the environment to go out of sync with the event handling and the event handler above does not get called.

Any input on this strange behaviour

Okay, I managed to solve this one quite shortly after posting the thread. I changed tack a little after searching on Google. Basically I got to the XML by using the following code:

this.Content.get_XML(false)

Don't ask me why it makes a difference, but it does. Any takers on explaining this
