ReportCreate a new windows application project and add a button to it.
On click of that button, we will open a document and add values for a built in and custom document properties.
Than add reference to (Word 10.0 or 11.0 object library) and Microsoft.Office.Core.dll within COM tab of Add reference dialog box.
After adding reference, add this directive
using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word
using System.Reflection;
Put the following code in the button click event handler
// For optional parameters create a missing object
object missing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
// Create an object for filename which is the file to be opened
object fileName = @”C:\MySecond.doc”;
// Create an object of application class
ApplicationClass WordApp = new ApplicationClass();
// open the document specified in the fileName variable
Document adoc = WordApp.Documents.Open(ref fileName, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing,
ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing,
ref missing, ref missing, ref missing);
// setting the document built in properties
object oDocBuiltInProps = adoc.BuiltInDocumentProperties;
Type typeDocBuiltInProps = oDocBuiltInProps.GetType();
// setting the Title property with value “My Proposal”
string strIndex = “Title”;
string strValue = “My Proposal”;
typeDocBuiltInProps.InvokeMember(“Item”,
BindingFlags.Default |
BindingFlags.SetProperty,
null, oDocBuiltInProps,
new object[] { strIndex, strValue });
// setting the custome document properties
object oDocCustomProps = adoc.CustomDocumentProperties;
Type typeDocCustomProps = oDocCustomProps.GetType();
// setting the ProposalSentDate custom date property with current date time
string strIndex1 = “ProposalSentDate”;
string strValue1 = DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString();
object[] oArg = { strIndex1, false, Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoDocProperties.msoPropertyTypeDate, strValue1 };
typeDocCustomProps.InvokeMember(“Add”,
BindingFlags.Default |
BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null,
oDocCustomProps,oArg);
WordApp.Visible = true;
Byee…
