WordDocument taking indefinite time to Save

[Josh H]

I used a WordDocument object to mail merge about 5000 records. The MailMerge.Execute function completes in a manageable amount of time (about 1 min), but then when I save the document to a new file, it doesn't finish, and brings my computer memory to its knees. Here is the code I am using:

CurrentDocument.MailMerge.Execute(_table);
string destPath = Path.GetTempFileName().Replace(".tmp",".doc");
CurrentDocument.Save(destPath); // Hangs here
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(destPath);
this.Close();

Hi Josh,

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion products.

I am afraid I am unable to reproduce the issue. I created a dataset with 5000 records and used Path.GetTempFileName() to save the file. I was able to generate the word document. Here is the generated word document for your reference.

Here is the sample program for your reference.

If you still face the same problem can you please provide us the sample code using which the error was reproduced also with the word template.

Please let me know if you face any issues.

Regards,
Sarath

Attached is a sample project demonstrating the problem. An interesting note is the memory pressure. After creating the WordDocument, and filling the DataTable, memory usage of the application is ~22MB. After merging, it shoots up to ~445MB. While attempting to save, it goes up further, slowing my computer.

Can you please let us the know the Essential Studio version you are working with. Because we had some memory related issues in our previous versions which has been fixed in our latest version. Can you please update to the latest version of Essential Studio if possible. Else Can you please let me know what is the Essential Studio Version you are using. So that I can know the update the status of the issue in detail.
