Hi @Navneetj3,

In C#, you must escape certain characters in strings with a backslash. This includes the backslash.

e.g.

string templatePath ="C:\Users\Lenovo\Downloads\letter_template.docx";
string outputPath ="D:\New folder.docx";

→

string templatePath ="C:\\Users\\Lenovo\\Downloads\\letter_template.docx";
string outputPath ="D:\\New folder.docx";

You can also use string literals with the @ symbol at the beginning:

string templatePath = @"C:\Users\Lenovo\Downloads\letter_template.docx";

You can test out your code in a C# compiler, such as https://dotnetfiddle.net/ before inserting it into an Invoke Code Activity.

Also, this might be the forum formatting, but also make sure your quotes " are not slanted “

Thanks

I am using escape sequence …but still not able to produce correct compiled code.
as of now i am trying below.can you help me correct it .i am running same code on seperate machine with latest community studio . there it is working fine -

string templatePath =“C:\Users\Lenovo\Downloads\letter_template.docx”;
string outputPath =“D:\New folder.docx”;
// Create a Word application object
dynamic wordApp = null;
dynamic doc = null;

try
{
wordApp = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application();

// Disable the visibility of the application
wordApp.Visible = false;

// Open the template document
doc = wordApp.Documents.Open(templatePath);

// Field names and values passed as arguments
string fieldName1 = args.my_phone;
string value1 = args.phone_no;
string fieldName2 = args.my_email;
string value2 = args.value2;

// Find and replace the fields in the document
ReplaceFieldWithValue(doc, fieldName1, value1);
ReplaceFieldWithValue(doc, fieldName2, value2);

// Save the document with a different name or path
doc.SaveAs2(outputPath);
}
finally
{
// Close and release the document
if (doc != null)
{
doc.Close();
wordApp = null; // Release the reference to the document
}

// Quit and release the Word application
if (wordApp != null)
{
wordApp.Quit();
wordApp =null;
}
}

// Helper method to replace a field with a value
void ReplaceFieldWithValue(dynamic document, string fieldName, string value)
{
dynamic range = document.Content;
range.Find.ClearFormatting();
range.Find.Execute(fieldName, false, false, false, false, false, true, 1, false, value, 2);
}

Hi @Navneetj3,

Can you provide a sample XAML and project.json with this issue please?

Thanks

Hi @Navneetj3,

When creating a method within an Invoke Code Activity, you can try using lambda functions:

Action<dynamic, string, string> ReplaceFieldWithValue = (dynamic document, string fieldName, string value) => {
  dynamic range = document.Content;
  range.Find.ClearFormatting();
  range.Find.Execute(fieldName, false, false, false, false, false, true, 1, false, value, 2);
};

Function in Invoke Code with C#

@ankitdwivedi0290 Hello Ankit, @Jorge_Cavalcante is right, the C# code, inside a Invoke Code Activitiy, is like a Main method of a class. To meet your requirements you can use Lambda functions. Action<string> GetUserName = (string username) => { Console.WriteLine(username); }; try { GetUserName(userName); } catch(Exception ex){ } Best regards Stefan

Thanks
