    4. Go to the Build menu in Visual Studio and select Build Solution.

      Note

      If the sample does not build successfully, close Visual Studio 2008 and run the .NET Framework Configuration Tool (Mscorcfg.msc) before attempting to build the sample.

    Using the command prompt:

    1. Open the command prompt.
    2. Navigate to the directory that contains the "setauthor.vcproj" file.
    3. Enter the following command: msbuild setauthor.vcproj.

Either the Debug or Release build mode may be used.

Running the Sample

Before running the sample application, ensure that the sample project has been built in the Debug or Release mode that corresponds to the build mode that will be used to run the sample.

The following procedures describe how to run the sample using Visual Studio or the command prompt.

Using Visual Studio 2008:
  1. Open the Properties of the sample project.
  2. Under Configuration Properties, click the Debugging item.
  3. Type either of the following two sets of arguments into the Command Arguments text box and then click OK.
    • To view text and authorship information when the sample program runs, type: setauthor.exe sample.docx.
    • To view text and modify authorship information when the sample program runs, type: setauthor.exe sample.docx <NewAuthorName><NewDocumentName>.docx.
  4. Run the sample.

Using the command prompt:

  1. Open the command prompt.
  2. Navigate to the directory that contains either the \Debug or the \Release project directory, as determined by the mode used to build and run the sample.
  3. Run the sample by entering either of the following commands.
    • To view text and authorship information, enter: setauthor.exe sample.docx.
    • To view text and modify authorship information, enter: setauthor.exe sample.docx <NewAuthorName> <NewDocumentName>.docx.
