Private Sub DisplayCreator()
    If Me.CustomerNode.Creator = Word.WdConstants.wdCreatorCode Then
        MsgBox(Me.CustomerNode.BaseName & _
            " element was created in Microsoft Office Word.")
    Else
        MsgBox(Me.CustomerNode.BaseName & _
            " element was not created in Microsoft Office Word.")
    End If 
End Sub
private void DisplayCreator()
{
    if (this.CustomerNode.Creator == (int)Word.WdConstants.wdCreatorCode)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(this.CustomerNode.BaseName +
            " element was created in Microsoft Office Word.");
    }
    else
    {
        MessageBox.Show(this.CustomerNode.BaseName +
            " element was not created in Microsoft Office Word.");
    }
}
