I went through many articles in order to insert a page break in word document with C#. Though they seemed to work for others, they did not for me. But I did find a way to insert breaks.
object oEndOfDoc = "\\endofdoc";
object paramNextPage = WdBreakType.wdSectionBreakNextPage;
wrdDocument.Bookmarks.get_Item(ref oEndOfDoc).Range.InsertBreak(ref paramNextPage);
WHERE
wrdDocument
- Active word document object of type : Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document
As I work, I keep noting about my work here. Earlier, I wrote about inserting images in a word document at a bookmark in this post. Later, arose the need for having text wrapping around an image if it is small for document width. Solution is to use frames to achieve it and here is how I did it.
CImage class definition:
public class CImage
{
public string Path
{
get;
set;
}
public decimal Id
{
get;
set;
}
public string Title
{
get;
set;
}
public Image Bitmap
{
get;
set;
}
public bool BusyLoading
{
get;
set;
}
public void GetImage()
{
try
{
BusyLoading = true;
WebRequest req = WebRequest.Create(Path);
WebResponse response = req.GetResponse();
Stream stream = response.GetResponseStream();
Bitmap = Image.FromStream(stream);
stream.Close();
}
catch
{
Bitmap = null;
}
finally
{
BusyLoading = false;
}
}
public override bool Equals(object obj)
{
CImage objToCompare = obj as CImage;
if (objToCompare == null)
return false;
return this.Id.Equals(objToCompare.Id);
}
}
Adding frame at end of the document (can be any bookmark for that matter)
Frame wrdFrame = wrdDocument.Frames.Add(wrdDocument.Bookmarks.get_Item(ref oEndOfDoc).Range);
WHERE
wrdDocument
- Active word document object of type : Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document
Setting frame properties for textwrap and autosize
wrdFrame.TextWrap = true;
wrdFrame.VerticalDistanceFromText = 7;
wrdFrame.HorizontalDistanceFromText = 10;
wrdFrame.HeightRule = WdFrameSizeRule.wdFrameAuto;
wrdFrame.WidthRule = WdFrameSizeRule.wdFrameAuto;
Inserting image in frame
Clipboard.SetDataObject(objImage.Bitmap);
wrdFrame.Range.Paste();
WHERE
objImage
- Object of type CImage
And you are done !

Though I took quite a lot of time to figure it out; when I did – it actually seemed pretty simple !
Shape wrdTextBox = wrdDocument.Shapes.AddTextbox(
Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTextOrientation.msoTextOrientationHorizontal,
0, 2, 500, 30, ref objRange);
WHERE
wrdDocument
- Active word document object of type : Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document
objRange
- Range object in wrdDocument where I want this text box to be inserted of type : Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Range
In order to assign text and style to this text box:
wrdTextBox.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "I am sitting right inside a textbox in word";
wrdTextBox.TextFrame.TextRange.set_Style(ref my_style);

Assignment:
Export data in word 2003 format using COM Interop
Problem:
First time export worked just fine. Second time, I received exception “The RPC server is unavailable. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BA)” for “Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word”
Solution:
public class CDocumentExporter
{
static ApplicationClass _word_application;
public static ApplicationClass AppClass
{
get
{
if (_word_application == null)
{
_word_application = new ApplicationClass();
_word_application.ApplicationEvents2_Event_Quit += new ApplicationEvents2_QuitEventHandler(_word_application_ApplicationEvents2_Event_Quit);
}
return _word_application;
}
}
static void _word_application_ApplicationEvents2_Event_Quit()
{
_word_application = null;
}
}//end of class
And just use the CDocumentExporter.AppClass wherever necessary

I was looking for a way to insert images at a bookmark in a word document and thought should document these for future reference
CImage class Definition
public class CImage
{
public string Path
{
get;
set;
}
public decimal Id
{
get;
set;
}
public string Title
{
get;
set;
}
public Image Bitmap
{
get;
set;
}
public bool BusyLoading
{
get;
set;
}
public void GetImage()
{
try
{
BusyLoading = true;
WebRequest req = WebRequest.Create(Path);
WebResponse response = req.GetResponse();
Stream stream = response.GetResponseStream();
Bitmap = Image.FromStream(stream);
stream.Close();
}
catch
{
Bitmap = null;
}
finally
{
BusyLoading = false;
}
}
}
Scenario 1:
You have a path of the image file which is to be inserted
public static void SetBookMark(Document p_objWordDocument, string p_strName,
CImage p_objImage)
{
if (p_objWordDocument.Bookmarks.Exists(p_strName))
{
object objBookMark = p_strName;
p_objWordDocument.Bookmarks.get_Item(ref objBookMark).Range.InlineShapes.AddPicture(p_objImage.Path, ... dozons of object params ...);
}
}
Scenario 2:
When you have the bitmap in memory
public static void SetBookMark(Document p_objWordDocument, string p_strName,
CImage p_objImage)
{
if (p_objWordDocument.Bookmarks.Exists(p_strName))
{
object objBookMark = p_strName;
Clipboard.SetDataObject(p_objImage.Bitmap);
p_objWordDocument.Bookmarks.get_Item(ref objBookMark).Range.Paste();
}
}

Module: CEmailManager
Calling function:
public static bool SendDummyEmail()
{
return SendEmail(CGlobalParams.AdminEmail, "dummy", "Hi");
}
Worker function:
private static bool SendEmail(string p_strTo, string p_strSubject, string p_strBody)
{
try
{
MailMessage objMessage = new MailMessage();
string[] lstRecipient = p_strTo.Split(',');
foreach (string strTo in lstRecipient)

objClient.DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
if (CGlobalParams.SMTPRequireSSL)
{
objClient.EnableSsl = true;
}
objClient.Send(objMessage);
return true;
}
catch
{
return false;
}
}
Where
CGlobalParams: A class responsible for reading values for global parameters
Global parameters used here:
SMTPPassword : somevalue
SMTPPort : 587
SMTPRequireSSL : true
SMTPServer : smtp.gmail.com
SMTPUser : jyotsnas@philogy.com
With currently set global parameters, the code sends email with gmail/ google apps over SSL. Setting the SMTPRequireSSL to false, will make the code send email with SMTP server which requires authentication but not SSL.
Problem:
While creating an installer for a .net web application, we usually follow a practice of adding a web deployment project and then adding the pre-compiled web output to a web setup project. An observation is that the precompiled web output contains project files, version control system files if any and debug symbols as well.
Solution:
Find a way to remove the files from precompiled web output. How: Open the web deployment project file and add following so that ItemGroup section looks like following. This example is considering SVN as a version control system.
