Aspose.Words Product Family
1

Hello,
I download latest Aspose.Words and use your demo code to test comment function. The code is as below:

Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
builder.Write("Some text is added.");
Comment comment = new Comment(doc);
builder.CurrentParagraph.AppendChild(comment);
comment.Paragraphs.Add(new Paragraph(doc));
comment.FirstParagraph.Runs.Add(new Run(doc, "Comment text."));
doc.Save("c:\\test.doc");

When I tried to save, it threw out an excption.Please help. Thanks.
BTW, I am using 5.1.0.0 on .Net 2.0

Hi,
You released Aspose.Words 5.2.0 on May 15, but I cannot find this case #4963 in the fixes. When will you have it fixed? Thanks.

This is fixed in the next release that is coming out, but you can workaround now. Just set Comment.Author and Comment.Initial properties to non null values. Easy.

The issues you have found earlier (filed as 4346) have been fixed in this update.

The problem was caused by null author and initials. Changed defaults to empty strings.
