Examples
Shows how to use DOCPROPERTY fields to display document properties and variables.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
// Below are two ways of using DOCPROPERTY fields.
// 1 - Display a built-in property:
// Set a custom value for the "Category" built-in property, then insert a DOCPROPERTY field that references it.
doc.BuiltInDocumentProperties.Category = "My category";
FieldDocProperty fieldDocProperty = (FieldDocProperty)builder.InsertField(" DOCPROPERTY Category ");
fieldDocProperty.Update();
Assert.AreEqual(" DOCPROPERTY Category ", fieldDocProperty.GetFieldCode());
Assert.AreEqual("My category", fieldDocProperty.Result);
builder.InsertParagraph();
// 2 - Display a custom document variable:
// Define a custom variable, then reference that variable with a DOCPROPERTY field.
Assert.AreEqual(0, doc.Variables.Count);
doc.Variables.Add("My variable", "My variable's value");
FieldDocVariable fieldDocVariable = (FieldDocVariable)builder.InsertField(FieldType.FieldDocVariable, true);
fieldDocVariable.VariableName = "My Variable";
fieldDocVariable.Update();
Assert.AreEqual(" DOCVARIABLE \"My Variable\"", fieldDocVariable.GetFieldCode());
Assert.AreEqual("My variable's value", fieldDocVariable.Result);
doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "Field.DOCPROPERTY.DOCVARIABLE.docx");
