Dear All,

I want to evaluate smartart shape, which is already inserted in the existing word document. Where the document contain n number of smartart shapes.

I alreay searched on google regarding this, but I did not find suitable one.

Please review my code....

What I have tried:

C#

public static bool EvaluateSmartArtShape(IQuestion question, string filename, SmartArtShapes _smartArtShape)
       {
           WordInterop.Application wordApplication = GetOrCreateWordApplication(question.ObjectStore);

           try
           {
               //Avoid screen flickering or unwanted alerts while initializing
               wordApplication.ScreenUpdating = false;
               WordInterop.WdAlertLevel displayAlertLevel = wordApplication.DisplayAlerts;
               wordApplication.DisplayAlerts = WordInterop.WdAlertLevel.wdAlertsNone;

               WordInterop.Document wordDocument = wordApplication.Documents.Open(filename);
               //WORD
               WordInterop.Shapes ws = wordDocument.Shapes;
               foreach(WordInterop.Shape s in ws)
               {
                   if (s.HasSmartArt == MsoTriState.msoTrue)
                   {
                       if (s == wordApplication.SmartArtLayouts[(int)_smartArtShape])//line 697
                       {
                           return true;
                       }
                   }
               }
               wordDocument.Close();

           }
           catch (Exception ee)
           {
               string strError = ee.ToString();
               Cleanup(question.ObjectStore, true);
           }
           return false;
       }

Error:

C#

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80010105): The server threw an exception. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80010105 (RPC_E_SERVERFAULT))
   at Microsoft.Office.Core.SmartArtLayouts.get_Item(Object Index)

Seems _smartArtShape is a collection of SmartArtShapes... If i'm right, then you cannot convert collection into integer value.

Word automation isn't supported under asp.net. This might appear to work on your local machine but it won't work when deployed.

Don't "bump" your question: it's rude, arrogant, unnecessary, and doesn't help you get a faster answer. By all means add info, but just editing it to get it back to the top of the "unanswered" list is just saying "I'm more important than anyone else, so deal with *MY* question and ignore the rest".
And so is everybody else, and everybody else's questions. If everyone was this thoughtless and rude, you'd never get an answer to anything, because all we'd be able to see would be 100 pages of idiots bumping all the real questions to page 100+
All you do is annoy people, and get them to deliberately not even look at your question, much less answer it.
