FieldOptionsLegacyNumberFormat Property

Gets or sets the value indicating whether legacy (early than AW 13.10) number format for fields is enabled or not.

Namespace:  Aspose.Words.Fields
Assembly:  Aspose.Words (in Aspose.Words.dll) Version: 20.3
Syntax
public bool LegacyNumberFormat { get; set; }

Property Value

Type: Boolean
Remarks

When this property is set to true, template symbol "#" worked as in .net: Replaces the pound sign with the corresponding digit if one is present; otherwise, no symbols appears in the result string.

When this property is set to false, template symbol "#" works as MS Word: This format item specifies the requisite numeric places to display in the result. If the result does not include a digit in that place, MS Word displays a space. For example, { = 9 + 6 \# $### } displays $ 15.

The default value is false.

Examples
Shows how use FieldOptions to change the number format.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

Field field = builder.InsertField("= 2 + 3 \\# $##");

Assert.AreEqual("$ 5", field.Result);

doc.FieldOptions.LegacyNumberFormat = true;
field.Update();

Assert.AreEqual("$5", field.Result);
