TIPS

  1. If you encounter issues while using the .NET Word library in ASP.NET Core, refer to the troubleshooting guide for recommended checks and solutions.
  2. Switch to NuGet packages for a seamless experience:
    • Get frequent bug fixes every week.
    • Upgrade quickly with no manual effort.
      Note: To avoid the trial watermark when using NuGet packages, it is recommended to register a license key in the application. Please refer to this link to learn about registering the Syncfusion® license key in your application to use our components.

Refer here to learn more about the NuGet packages required.

  2. Syncfusion® components are available on nuget.org.
  3. Starting with v15.3.0.x, a new Visual Studio add-in “Syncfusion® Reference Manager” for WPF and Windows Forms platforms is included. Using this add-in, you can easily add the necessary reference assemblies to your projects in an automated way. Please refer to this link for more information.
  4. Starting with v17.3.0.x, Syncfusion® provides support to .NET Core 3.0. You can use the above WPF or Windows Forms platform assemblies for .NET Core 3.0 targeting applications and use the same “C# tab” code examples for it.
