i am trying to insert a textbox in word document by c# , i use this code

C#

//rng = oDataDoc.Tables[1].Cell(1, 1).Range;
//wrdApp.ActiveDocument.Shapes.AddTextbox(??,1, 1, 200, 200, ref rng);

i have problem in 1st and last parameter.
a reference to microsoft.office.interop.word already added to my project
in regard to the first parameter it should be
Microsoft.office.Core.MsoTextOrientation
but i could not define this variable in my program
i could write
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.
after the last dot in the above line i do not know which one shuold i select
from the listbox being given by the ms visual studio
i need explanation for the 1st and last parameter

Solution 1

Have a look here:
Shapes.AddTextbox method[^]
first parameter: MsoTextOrientation enumeration[^]
last parameter: Range interface[^]

Below code should works:

C#

Range rng = oDataDoc.Tables[1].Cell(1,1).Range;
Shape sh = oDataDoc.Shapes.AddTextBox(Microsotft.Office.Core.msoTextOrientationHorizontal, 1, 1, 200, 200, ref rng);

Try 1 instead of Microsotft.Office.Core.msoTextOrientationHorizontal ;)
Class MsoTextOrientation[^]

Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTextOrientation.msoTextOrientationHorizontal
is located in OFFICE .COM NOT OFFICE.NET

THIS WORKS

C#

rng = oDataDoc.Tables[1].Cell(1, 1).Range;
xShape  = oDataDoc.Shapes.AddTextbox(Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTextOrientation.msoTextOrientationHorizontal, 1, 1, 200, 200, ref rng);
