    Hi leschi ,

     

    The PBIX file as a collection of files and folders in a compressed zip package. If you need to manually view the contents you can rename the ".pbix" extension to ".zip" to create a .ZIP file and then extract the contents of the file.

     

    Currently there is no such functionality from powerbi to access/modify the pbix file programmatically from dotnet. 

     

    If you want you can request this idea in the idea forum
