Open template and set contents with Xml file with ShellHelper.OpenFile hangs

Question

Hi all,

I have inside a C# windows application a piece of code to open the word using a command like this:

ShellHelper.OpenFile("Winword.exe", "/n /f @"C:\template.dotx" /xmlFile:@"C:\data.xml")

But now & then and mostly on Windows 10 this hangs and doesn't work at all.

Am I passing some parameter wrong here? Should I be doing this in a different way?

Answer 1

Found out what it was. When aplying the template, it has C# code associated that used clipboard. And I have Ditto installed, it seemed to interfere somehow.

Turned it of and began to work like a charm.

Thank you all.
