Application using interop Word . . . Code below compiles OK . . but type mismatch error when oDoc.SaveAs.... attempts to execute.

Here are some earlier definitions . . .

Word._Application oWord;
Word._Document oDoc;
oWord = new Word.Application();

Thanks for any suggestion to fix.

****************

string sFileName = "MYFILE";

object filename = "C:\\JR Temp\\" + sFileName + ".docx";

object Missing = null;

//THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS PRODUCES TYPE MISMATCH ERROR . . ???

oDoc.SaveAs(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);

Solution 1

I think there is something with the number of parameters you provided in 'SaveAs' method.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;

namespace Test_InteropWord
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Application app = new Application();


            Document doc = app.Documents.Add(Type.Missing, 
                Type.Missing, 
                WdDocumentType.wdTypeDocument, false);
            doc.SaveAs(@"d:\tmp\test.docx");
            ((Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word._Document)doc).Close(true);
        }
    }
}

SaveAs method:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.office.interop.word._document.saveas%28v=office.14%29.aspx[^]

[update]

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
// using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;
using MyWord = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;

namespace Test_InteropWord
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            MyWord.Application app = new MyWord.Application();


            MyWord.Document doc = app.Documents.Add(Type.Missing, 
                Type.Missing,
                MyWord.WdDocumentType.wdTypeDocument, false);
            doc.SaveAs(@"d:\tmp\test.docx");
            ((MyWord._Document)doc).Close(true);
        }
    }
}

When you refer any of classes in that assembly, you can use it with MyWord reference.

Debugging . . . showing a lot of compile errors. One is saying SaveAs doesn't have 1 parameter.

Vedat Ozan Oner 18-Feb-14 12:48pm

have you added reference for Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word?

JOHNNYDEMICHAEL 18-Feb-14 12:50pm

Yes.

Vedat Ozan Oner 18-Feb-14 12:53pm

could you put all these compile errors here? I can't say anything without seeing them.

Vedat, you mentioned VB . . . I'm writing in C#

Vedat Ozan Oner 18-Feb-14 13:07pm

:) right. my fault.

Here are the errors listed . . .

I have updated the solution. The problem is that since you have more than 'Application', compiler cannot know which one you refer. Therefore, I used an alias for 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word' namespace. When you refer any structure in that name space, you can use it as 'MyWord.something'. And do similar aliasing for Excel namespace.

JOHNNYDEMICHAEL 19-Feb-14 22:25pm

Vedat, does your code run? If so, what reference do you add other than Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word?

using System.Threading.Tasks; results in several errors . . what reference do you add? I cannot get your updated solution to compile without errors.

Vedat Ozan Oner 20-Feb-14 3:43am

Yes, that code runs. It creates the file with the 'saveas' method. framework version is 4.5. but I think it is good with other versions. you can delete Tasks namespace since you don't need it.
