Determine if MS Word finished saving the document - silverlight-5.0

Question

I have a Silverlight 5.0 application and prvoide MS Word Automation functionality where the user can edit/add new document. I have gone through to MSDN pages but couldn't find any event that MS Word triggers after saving the document. The only event that talks about saving is the "DocumentBeforeSave" event that dosen't helps. I need to know when the MS Word finishes saving the document so that is it ready to save to server.
Can someone help me with this?
Any idea is very much approciated.

Answer 1

using MSWord = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;
namespace ConsoleApplication4
{
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
var app = new MSWord.Application();
var doc = app.Documents.Open(#"..\..\myDoc.docx");
app.DocumentBeforeSave += app_DocumentBeforeSave;
}
static void app_DocumentBeforeSave(MSWord.Document Doc, ref bool SaveAsUI, ref bool Cancel)
{
app.DocumentBeforeSave -= app_DocumentBeforeSave;
Cancel = true;
Doc.Save();
if(Doc.Saved){
//Now you know the document has saved
}
app.DocumentBeforeSave += app_DocumentBeforeSave;
}
}
}

Answer 2

The Save method doesn't run on a seperate thread, so it only returns once the Save is complete.
The DocumentBeforeSave event takes in a boolean call Cancel this is passed with the ref parameter, and setting it to true cancels the save that is about to take place.
You could set this to true, and then call Save yourself, this way you will know when the save has completed, as it runs on the same thread, something like this:
using MSWord = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;
namespace ConsoleApplication41
{
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
var app = new MSWord.Application();
var doc = app.Documents.Open(#"..\..\myDoc.docx");
app.DocumentBeforeSave += app_DocumentBeforeSave;
}
static void app_DocumentBeforeSave(MSWord.Document Doc, ref bool SaveAsUI, ref bool Cancel)
{
Cancel = true;
Doc.Save();
//Now you know the document has saved
}
}
}
