Question

The problem (C# compiler warning message):

warning CS0467: Ambiguity between method ‘Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word._Document.close(ref object, ref object, ref object)’ and non-method ‘Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.DocumentEvents2_Event.Close’. Using method group.

The (partial..) solution:
Compile time warning when using 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word._Document.Close'

The dilemma:
If I explicitly cast to Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word._Document, ReSharper warns me that the “Type cast is redundant”

The question:
Is there a real solution for this warning message, not just patchwork?

Answer 1

Just don’t cast, C# doesn’t require it:

Word._Application app = new Word.Application();
Word._Document doc = app.Documents.Add(...);
doc.Close(...);    // No ambiguity
app.Quit(...);
