Using ZipPackage in .NET

so I learned about the System.IO.Packaging.ZipPackage in .NET. I am trying to use it to extract a thumbnail that is located in word documents if you 'Save as Thumbnail', the general advice seems to be to use a third-part library instead, but does anyone perhaps know how to do this?

If you know you are only working with .docx files, you can read the thumbnail, if the document has one, using this code:

ZipPackage zip = ZipPackage.Open(@"C:\Test Documents\thumbnail.docx") as ZipPackage;
var part = zip.GetPart(new Uri("/docProps/thumbnail.emf", UriKind.Relative));
if (part != null)
{
    Image i = Image.FromStream(part.GetStream());
    pictureBox1.Image = i;
}
