Dear All,

I have following code, Am using for migration

C#

object readOnly = false;
object isVisible = true; 
Word.Application app = new Word.Application();
app.WindowState = Word.WdWindowState.wdWindowStateMaximize;
app.Visible = true;
Word.Document doc = app.Documents.Open(ref filename, ref missing, ref readOnly, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing,
ref missing, ref missing, ref isVisible, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing);
doc.Activate();
doc.Save();
doc.Close(ref missing, ref missing, ref missing);
app.Quit(ref missing, ref missing, ref missing);

Sometimes documents contains some error so document cant able do the save operation, So i need to give some time to execute doc.save() , if it doesnt complete means i need to kill the process, and continue next iteration. Please give some ideas to achieve it

Thanks in Advance
Scorpion

Does doc.Save() mathod return a true or false value?

sathish.kasin 31-Mar-13 15:08pm

It doesnt return anything its a void...
void_Document.Save()

Remove this line: doc.Activate(); line; check filename parameter.

Dear Maciej Los,

If the document contains error means its trying to save it , so the code doesnt run after doc.Save(); Here My requirement is if the code is idle for 2 minutes means it should kill the process and continue with nxt iteration

First of all, you don't need to use doc.Activate() method.
Seconly, you need ti identify: What kind of error MS Word generates?

In my opinion, MS Word shows some dialog and waits for user interaction. Use app.Activate() to interact MS Word between application and user.

BTW: Which version of MS Word application?

Dear Maciej Los,

Word document contains Document Information Panel, If required field is missing means it will wait for that value.... word 2010 and doc format

Try using try...catch :

C#

object readOnly = false;
object isVisible = true; 
Word.Application app = new Word.Application();
try
{
  app.WindowState = Word.WdWindowState.wdWindowStateMaximize;
  app.Visible = true;
 Word.Document doc = app.Documents.Open(ref filename, ref missing, ref readOnly, ref missing, ref missing, ref    missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing,
ref missing, ref missing, ref isVisible, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing);
  doc.Activate();
  doc.Save();
  doc.Close(ref missing, ref missing, ref missing);
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
  // log your error here
}
finaly
{
  app.Quit(ref missing, ref missing, ref missing);
}

In my opinion you need to validate form fields before you start saving document. I don't know your requirements, so i can't help you more. Some useful information you'll find here:
