ComWrapper and FontSettings Issue

Aspose.Words Product Family

I have a ComWrapper from v14 and I am trying to upgrade to 19. When I build the ComWrapper, I get this error:

|Error|CS0120|An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property ‘FontSettings.GetFontsSources()’|AsposeComWrapper|C:\Users\Royn\source\repos\AsposeComWrapper\AsposeComWrapper\Class1.cs|21|Active|

The error seems to com from this line

        ArrayList fontSources = new ArrayList(FontSettings.GetFontsSources());

How do I fix?

Thanks for sharing the detail. You need to use FontSettings.DefaultInstance as shown below to fix this issue.

public void SetFontFolder(object myFolder)
{
    ArrayList fontSources = new ArrayList(FontSettings.DefaultInstance.GetFontsSources());
    FolderFontSource folderFontSource = new FolderFontSource(myFolder.ToString(), true);
    fontSources.Add(folderFontSource);
    FontSourceBase[] updatedFontSources = (FontSourceBase[])fontSources.ToArray(typeof(FontSourceBase));
    FontSettings.DefaultInstance.SetFontsSources(updatedFontSources);
}

Thanks, can your provide me examples of 2 functions I need to add to the COM Wrapper:

  1. Input Parameter (a file name path of a jpg). Function inserts the image as background image for the entire page (no margins,etc)
  2. Input Parameter ( text string and overlay location). Function places text at location and on top of background image above.
