Default Export data from C# winForms treeView to MS-Word MergeFields

I have a winForm app written in c# and i have a treeview contains files from a directory. It also contains data about each files (fullpath,creation time,size) it look like this:

http://i.stack.imgur.com/MZOaW.png

I am trying to export this data to MS-Word template look like this:

http://i.stack.imgur.com/1erPq.png

My problem is to duplicate the mergeFields for each File and to insert each file properties (The number of files changes) in place to look like this:

http://i.stack.imgur.com/hDJOh.png

This is my Code:


Code:
Private void btnExportWord_Click_1(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  Object oMissing = Missing.Value;
  Word.Application oWord = New Word.Application();
  Word.Document oWordDoc = New Word.Document();
  oWord.Visible = false;
  oWordDoc = oWord.Documents.Add(ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
  Object oTemplatePath = @"C:\test\MyXMLTemplate.dotx";
  oWordDoc = oWord.Documents.Add(ref oTemplatePath, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
  For (int i = 0; i < treeViewXMLFiles.Nodes[0].Nodes.Count; i++)
  {
    String strFilename = treeViewXMLFiles.Nodes[0].Nodes[i].Text;
    String strFull_path = treeViewXMLFiles.Nodes[0].Nodes[i].Nodes[0].Text;
    String strCreationTime = treeViewXMLFiles.Nodes[0].Nodes[i].Nodes[1].Text;
    String strSize = treeViewXMLFiles.Nodes[0].Nodes[i].Nodes[2].Text;
    foreach (Word.Field myMergeField In oWordDoc.Fields)
    {
      Word.Range rngFieldCode = myMergeField.Code;
      String fieldText = rngFieldCode.Text;
      If (fieldText.StartsWith(" MERGEFIELD"))
      {
        Int32 endMerge = fieldText.IndexOf("\\");
        Int32 fieldNameLength = fieldText.Length - endMerge;
        String fieldName = fieldText.Substring(11, endMerge - 11);
        fieldName = fieldName.Trim();
        If (fieldName == "File_Name")
        {
          myMergeField.Select();
          oWord.Selection.TypeText(strFilename);
        }
        If (fieldName == "Full_Path")
        {
          myMergeField.Select();
          oWord.Selection.TypeText(strFull_path);
        }
        If (fieldName == "CreationTime")
        {
          myMergeField.Select();
          oWord.Selection.TypeText(strCreationTime);
        }
        If (fieldName == "Size")
        {
          myMergeField.Select();
          oWord.Selection.TypeText(strSize);
        }
      }
    }
  }
  Object oSaveAsFile = (Object)@"C:\test\FINISHED_XML_Template.doc";
  oWordDoc.SaveAs(ref oSaveAsFile, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
  oWordDoc.Close(False, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
  oWord.Quit(ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
}
I'm tying to look for an answer for a long time with no success.
I hope anyone here could help me.

If all you are outputting is just the "File_Name", "Full_Path", "CreationTime" and "Size", I have to wonder why you're bothering with mergefields. After all, you're not using them for a mailmerge - all you're doing is using them as placeholders that you replace with your data. You could just as easily insert them as strings into an ordinary document with code like:

oWord.Characters.Last.InsertParagraphAfter;
oWord.Characters.Last.InsertAfter strFilename;
oWord.Characters.Last.InsertParagraphAfter;
oWord.Characters.Last.InsertAfter strFull_path;
oWord.Characters.Last.InsertParagraphAfter;
oWord.Characters.Last.InsertAfter strCreationTime;
oWord.Characters.Last.InsertParagraphAfter;
oWord.Characters.Last.InsertAfter strSize;
oWord.Characters.Last.InsertParagraphAfter;

Basically, those lines would replace your entire foreach loop. I'm not a C# programmer, but it seems to me your code could be reduced to:
Code:
Private void btnExportWord_Click_1(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  Object oMissing = Missing.Value;
  Word.Application oWord = New Word.Application();
  Word.Document oWordDoc = New Word.Document();
  oWord.Visible = false;
  oWordDoc = oWord.Documents.Add(ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
  Object oTemplatePath = @"C:\test\MyXMLTemplate.dotx";
  oWordDoc = oWord.Documents.Add(ref oTemplatePath, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
  For (int i = 0; i < treeViewXMLFiles.Nodes[0].Nodes.Count; i++)
  {
    oWord.Characters.Last.InsertParagraphAfter;
    oWord.Characters.Last.InsertAfter treeViewXMLFiles.Nodes[0].Nodes[i].Text;
    oWord.Characters.Last.InsertParagraphAfter;
    oWord.Characters.Last.InsertAfter treeViewXMLFiles.Nodes[0].Nodes[i].Nodes[0].Text;
    oWord.Characters.Last.InsertParagraphAfter;
    oWord.Characters.Last.InsertAfter treeViewXMLFiles.Nodes[0].Nodes[i].Nodes[1].Text;
    oWord.Characters.Last.InsertParagraphAfter;
    oWord.Characters.Last.InsertAfter treeViewXMLFiles.Nodes[0].Nodes[i].Nodes[2].Text; 
    oWord.Characters.Last.InsertParagraphAfter;
  }
  Object oSaveAsFile = (Object)@"C:\test\FINISHED_XML_Template.doc";
  oWordDoc.SaveAs(ref oSaveAsFile, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
  oWordDoc.Close(False, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
  oWord.Quit(ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
}

Do all of these records go in a list between the same pair of paragraphs, or are you repeating the paragraphs between the records?

Again, bearing in mind I'm not a C# programmer, you might put a bookmark where you want the output to go, then use something like:
Code:
Private void btnExportWord_Click_1(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  Object oMissing = Missing.Value;
  Word.Application oWord = New Word.Application();
  Word.Document oWordDoc = New Word.Document();
  oWord.Visible = false;
  Object oTemplatePath = @"C:\test\MyXMLTemplate.dotx";
  oWordDoc = oWord.Documents.Add(ref oTemplatePath, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
  Using oWordDoc.Bookmarks("BookmarkName").Range;
  {
    For (int i = 0; i < treeViewXMLFiles.Nodes[0].Nodes.Count; i++)
    {
      .InsertParagraphAfter;
      .InsertAfter treeViewXMLFiles.Nodes[0].Nodes[i].Text;
      .InsertParagraphAfter;
      .InsertAfter treeViewXMLFiles.Nodes[0].Nodes[i].Nodes[0].Text;
      .InsertParagraphAfter;
      .InsertAfter treeViewXMLFiles.Nodes[0].Nodes[i].Nodes[1].Text;
      .InsertParagraphAfter;
      .InsertAfter treeViewXMLFiles.Nodes[0].Nodes[i].Nodes[2].Text; 
      .InsertParagraphAfter;
    }
  }
  Object oSaveAsFile = (Object)@"C:\test\FINISHED_XML_Template.doc";
  oWordDoc.SaveAs(ref oSaveAsFile, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
  oWordDoc.Close(False, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
  oWord.Quit(ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
}
or:
Code:
Private void btnExportWord_Click_1(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  Object oMissing = Missing.Value;
  Word.Application oWord = New Word.Application();
  Word.Document oWordDoc = New Word.Document();
  oWord.Visible = false;
  Object oTemplatePath = @"C:\test\MyXMLTemplate.dotx";
  oWordDoc = oWord.Documents.Add(ref oTemplatePath, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
  Var Dest=oWordDoc.Bookmarks("BookmarkName").Range;
  {
    For (int i = 0; i < treeViewXMLFiles.Nodes[0].Nodes.Count; i++)
    {
      Dest.InsertParagraphAfter;
      Dest.InsertAfter treeViewXMLFiles.Nodes[0].Nodes[i].Text;
      Dest.InsertParagraphAfter;
      Dest.InsertAfter treeViewXMLFiles.Nodes[0].Nodes[i].Nodes[0].Text;
      Dest.InsertParagraphAfter;
      Dest.InsertAfter treeViewXMLFiles.Nodes[0].Nodes[i].Nodes[1].Text;
      Dest.InsertParagraphAfter;
      Dest.InsertAfter treeViewXMLFiles.Nodes[0].Nodes[i].Nodes[2].Text; 
      Dest.InsertParagraphAfter;
    }
  }
  Object oSaveAsFile = (Object)@"C:\test\FINISHED_XML_Template.doc";
  oWordDoc.SaveAs(ref oSaveAsFile, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
  oWordDoc.Close(False, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
  oWord.Quit(ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
}
Since I'm not sure of the C# syntax, I'm attaching a document with some VBA code to demonstrate how you can populate between the paragraphs by using a bookmark. In C# I believe the equivalent of a VBA 'With ... End With' construct is 'Using' or a Var declaration.
