Inserting Image into Word Doc

Hi,

What is the best way to programmatically insert an image in a word document?

The best information I have found is at https://docs.aspose.com/words/net/working-with-images/

But, I get an error when trying to do something like this.

First, I am unsure about the Image:XXX mail merge field.
I have just created a field like this: { MERGEFIELD Image:myimagename \* MERGEFORMAT}

Is that the right way to do it?

So, I don’t really have any other mail merge fields for now, but I included two others for good measure: { MERGEFIELD myfirstfield \* MERGEFORMAT}{ MERGEFIELD mysecondfield \* MERGEFORMAT}

In my code I have

Private Sub mysub()
    Dim myworddoc = New Aspose.Words.Document("myworddoc.doc")
    Dim names = New String() {"myfirstfield", "mysecondfield", "Image:myimagename"}
    Dim values = New String() {"First", "Second", "Third"}
    AddHandler myworddoc.MailMerge.MergeImageField, AddressOf HandleMyImageMerge
    myworddoc.MailMerge.Execute(names, values)
    myworddoc.Save("mydoc.pdf")
End Sub

Private Shared Sub HandleMyImageMerge(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Aspose.Words.Reporting.MergeImageFieldEventArgs)
    e.ImageFileName = "c:\myimagefile.gif"
End Sub

However, this produces an error when it gets to the myworddoc.MailMerge.Execute line:

“Attempted to copy a by reference attribute ‘4152’, but the attribute does not expose the complex attribute interface.”

What am I doing wrong? Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks.

Hi

Thanks for your inquiry. DocumentBuilder provides several overloads of the InsertImage method that allow you to insert an inline or floating image from a file or .NET Image object. Please see the following link:
https://reference.aspose.com/words/net/aspose.words/documentbuilder/insertimage/
Please try using the following code

// Open the document.
Document doc = new Document(@"Test\in.doc");
DocumentBuilder documentBuilder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
// Go to bookmark (for example) or .MoveToMergeField("myimagename");
documentBuilder.MoveToBookmark("Image");
// Insert Image
documentBuilder.InsertImage(@"Test\img.jpg");
doc.Save(@"Test\out.doc");

Best regards,
