We have already demonstrated how to use Spire.Doc to add shapes to word document from code. Spire.Doc also supports to remove a single shape by index or clear all the shapes from the word document. This article will illustrates how to remove the shape from word document in C# and VB.NET.

Sample word document with shapes:

How to remove shape from word document in C# and VB.NET

Step 1: Initialize a new instance of Document class and load the document from file.

Document doc = new Document();
doc.LoadFromFile("Shapes.docx",FileFormat.Docx2010);

Step 2: Get the first section from the document and the first paragraph from the section.

Section section = doc.Sections[0];
Paragraph para = section.Paragraphs[0];

Step 3: Get shapes from the first paragraph.

ShapeObject shape = para.ChildObjects[0] as ShapeObject;

Step 4: Remove the shape or all the shapes.

//remove the third shape.
para.ChildObjects.RemoveAt(2);

////clear all the shapes.
//para.ChildObjects.Clear();

Step 5: Save the document to file.

doc.SaveToFile("Removeshape.docx",FileFormat.Docx2010);

Step 1: Create an ImapClient instance.

ImapClient imap = new ImapClient();

Step 2: Set host, port, authentication and connection protocol.

imap.Host = "outlook.office365.com";
imap.Port = 143;
imap.Username = "LeonDavisLD@outlook.com";
imap.Password = "password";
imap.ConnectionProtocols = ConnectionProtocols.Ssl;

Step 3: Connect the imap server.

imap.Connect();

Step 4: Subscribe folder using its name.

imap.Subscribe("Folder1");

Step 5: Unsubscribe folder.

imap.Unsubscribe("Folder2");

Spire.Presentation supports to insert HTML formatted text to PowerPoint slide. The following code snippets demonstrate how to.

Step 1: Create an instance of Presentation class.

Presentation ppt = new Presentation();

Step 2: Insert an autoshape (rectangle) in slide.

IAutoShape shape = ppt.Slides[0].Shapes.AppendShape(ShapeType.Rectangle, new RectangleF(50, 50, 400, 100));

Step 3: Clear default paragraphs in the shape.

shape.TextFrame.Paragraphs.Clear();

Step 4: Add paragraphs to shape from HTML code. Make sure your HTML segments are written between <html><body> and </body></html> tags, otherwise, AddFromHtml method will fail to work.

string htmlText= "<html><body><p>First paragraph</p><p>Second paragraph</p></body></html>";
shape.TextFrame.Paragraphs.AddFromHtml(htmlText);

Step 5: Save to file.

ppt.SaveToFile("output.pptx", FileFormat.Pptx2013);

Output:

C#/VB.NET: Insert WordArt in Word

WordArt is a feature in MS Word that allows you to insert colorful and stylish text into your document. Apart from that, it can also bend, stretch, or skew the shape of the text, which is a quick way to make the text stand out with special effects. In this article, you will learn how to programmatically insert WordArt in a Word document using Spire.Doc for .NET.

Install Spire.Doc for .NET

To begin with, you need to add the DLL files included in the Spire.Doc for .NET package as references in your .NET project. The DLL files can be either downloaded from this link or installed via NuGet.

PM> Install-Package Spire.Doc

Insert WordArt in Word

The ShapeType enumeration provided by Spire.Doc for .NET defines a variety of WordArt shape types whose names begin with "Text". In order to create a WordArt in Word, you need to initialize an instance of ShapeObject and specify the WordArt type and text content. The detailed steps are as follows:

  • Create a Document instance.
  • Add a section to the document using Document.AddSection() method, and then add a paragraph to the section using Section.AddParagraph() method.
  • Append a shape to the paragraph and specify the shape size and type using Paragraph.AppendShape(float width, float height, ShapeType shapeType) method.
  • Set the position of the shape using ShapeObject.VerticalPosition and ShapeObject.HorizontalPosition properties.
  • Set the text of WordArt using WordArt.Text property.
  • Set the fill color and stroke color of WordArt using ShapeObject.FillColor and ShapeObject.StrokeColor properties.
  • Save the document to another file using Document.SaveToFile() method.
  • C#
  • VB.NET
using Spire.Doc;
using Spire.Doc.Documents;
using Spire.Doc.Fields;
namespace CreatWordArt
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            //Create a Document instance
            Document doc = new Document();

            //Add a section
            Section section = doc.AddSection();

            //Add a paragraph
            Paragraph paragraph = section.AddParagraph();

            //Append a shape to the paragraph and specify the shape size and type
            ShapeObject shape = paragraph.AppendShape(400, 150, ShapeType.TextDeflateBottom);

            //Set the position of the shape
            shape.VerticalPosition = 60;
            shape.HorizontalPosition = 60;
           
            //Set the text of WordArt
            shape.WordArt.Text = "Create WordArt in Word";

            //Set the fill color and stroke color of WordArt
            shape.FillColor = System.Drawing.Color.Cyan;
            shape.StrokeColor = System.Drawing.Color.DarkBlue;

            //Save the document
            doc.SaveToFile("CreateWordArt.docx", FileFormat.Docx2013);
        }
    }

Extract message contents in C#, VB.NET

This article illustrates how to get message contents such as from address, send to address, subject, date and the body of the message by using Spire.Email.

Code snippets of how to extract the message contents:

Step 1: Load the mail message.

MailMessage mail = MailMessage.Load("Sample.msg");

Step 2: Create a new instance of StringBuilder.

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

Step 3: Get the message contents as we want.

//get the From address
sb.AppendLine("From:");
sb.AppendLine(mail.From.Address);

//get the To address
sb.AppendLine("To:");
foreach (MailAddress toAddress in mail.To)
{
    sb.AppendLine(toAddress.Address);
}

//get the date
sb.AppendLine("Date:");
sb.AppendLine(mail.Date.ToString());

//get the subject
sb.AppendLine("Subject:");
sb.AppendLine(mail.Subject);

//get the BodyText
sb.AppendLine("Message contents");
sb.AppendLine(mail.BodyText);

//get the BodyHtml
sb.AppendLine("BodyHtml");
sb.AppendLine(mail.BodyHtml);

Step 4: Write all contents in .txt
