Hello World with ExcelApplication
WordWriter's
...
WordApplication
...
approach
...
provides
...
you
...
with
...
full
...
programmatic
...
control
...
over
...
the
...
binary
...
Word
...
file
...
formats
...
(DOC,
...
DOT).
...
This
...
includes
...
the
...
ability
...
to
...
create
...
and
...
modify:
...
paragraphs,
...
tables,
...
lists,
...
hyperlinks,
...
bookmarks,
...
images
...
and
...
more
...
!
...
This
...
tutorial
...
will
...
show
...
you
...
how
...
to
...
create
...
a
...
new
...
document
...
and
...
write
...
some
...
text
...
to
...
that
...
document.
...
Diving
...
right
...
into
...
the
...
code
...
| Info |
|---|
In the Hello World sample web application, WordApplication_HelloWorld.aspx has a text box for users to supply a value and WordApplication_HelloWorld.aspx.cs/vb contains the code show below. {info} 1. Include the {{ |
Include the SoftArtisans.OfficeWriter.WordWriter
...
namespace in
...
the
...
code
...
behind.
...
Code Block language c# using SoftArtisans.OfficeWriter.WordWriter;
...
Code Block language vb Imports SoftArtisans.OfficeWriter.WordWriter
...
Instantiate the WordApplication object
Code Block language c# WordApplication WAPP = new WordApplication();
...
Code Block language vb Dim WAPP As WordApplication = new WordApplication()
...
Create a new document with WordApplication.Create()
...
Code Block language c# Document DOC = WAPP.Create();
...
Code Block language vb Dim DOC As Document = WAPP.Create()
...
Unlike the WordTemplate object, which represents a single file, WordApplication works as a file generation engine. The WordApplication object can be used to create, open, and save multiple documents at once.
Note WordApplication only supports the Office 2003 file formats - DOC, DOT. WordWriter does not currently support creating DOCX/DOCM files with WordApplication.
For this example, we'll pull a value from a text box in a web form. Get the value.
Code Block language c# string value = DataValueBox.Text.Trim();
...
Code Block language vb Dim value As string = DataValueBox.Text.Trim()
...
Insert the text into the document with Element.InsertTextAfter.
Code Block language c# DOC.InsertTextAfter(value, true);
...
Code Block language vb DOC.InsertTextAfter(value, true)
...
Text strings need to be inserted into a paragraph, table cell, or list entry elements in a document. In this case, when the text is inserted into the document, it's actually inserted into the last paragraph in the document. Documents created by WordApplication come with a paragraph, so we do not need to create that paragraph.
Save the output file with WordApplication.Save
Code Block language c# WAPP.Save(DOC, Response, "Output.doc", false);
...
Code Block language vb WAPP.Save(DOC, Response, "Output.doc", false)
...
WordApplication.Save
...
has
...
the
...
same
...
output
...
options
...
as
...
WordTemplate:
...
save
...
to
...
disk,
...
save
...
to
...
memory
...
stream,
...
stream
...
back
...
to
...
the
...
client
...
inline,
...
and
...
stream
...
back
...
to
...
the
...
client
...
as
...
an
...
attachment.
...
In
...
this
...
case,
...
we're
...
streaming
...
the
...
document
...
back
...
to
...
the
...
client
...
as
...
an
...
attachment.
...
Here
...
is
...
an
...
example
...
of
...
what
...
the
...
output
...
should
...
look
...
like:
Congratulations, you have completed Hello World using WordApplication!
