Create Word document in Windows Forms

22 Jul 202624 minutes to read

Syncfusion® Essential® DocIO is a .NET Word library used to create, read, and edit Word documents programmatically without Microsoft Word or interop dependencies. Using this library, you can create a Word document in Windows Forms.

Steps to create a Word document programmatically

Prerequisites:

  • Visual Studio 2022.
  • Install .NET desktop development workload with necessary .NET Framework SDK.
  • .NET Framework 4.6.2 or later (4.8 recommended). This sample targets .NET Framework (not .NET / .NET Core).

Step 1: Create a new Windows Forms application project.

Create Windows Forms application in Visual Studio

Step 2: Install Syncfusion.DocIO.WinForms NuGet package as a reference to your Windows Forms application from the NuGet.org.

Install DocIO Windows Forms NuGet package

NOTE

Starting with v16.2.0.x, if you reference Syncfusion® assemblies from the trial setup or from the NuGet feed, you must add a reference to the Syncfusion.Licensing assembly and include a valid license key in your application.

Install the Syncfusion.Licensing NuGet package and register the license key during application startup.

Syncfusion.Licensing.SyncfusionLicenseProvider.RegisterLicense("YOUR_LICENSE_KEY");

For more information about generating and registering a license key, refer to the Syncfusion® licensing documentation.

Step 3: Add the following using directives to the top of Form1.cs (the Syncfusion namespaces are used by the click handler added in Step 5).

using Syncfusion.DocIO;
using Syncfusion.DocIO.DLS;
using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;

Step 4: Add a new button in Form1.Designer.cs to create Word file as follows. The btnCreate_Click handler referenced below is added in Form1.cs in Step 5.

private Button btnCreate;
private Label label;
  
private void InitializeComponent()
{
    label = new Label();
    btnCreate = new Button();
    //Label
    label.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 40);
    label.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(426, 35);
    label.Text = "Click the button to view a Word document generated by Essential DocIO. Please note that Microsoft Word Viewer or Microsoft Word is required to view the resultant Word document";
    label.TextAlign = System.Drawing.ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter;
  
    //Button
    btnCreate.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(180, 110);
    btnCreate.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(85, 36);
    btnCreate.Text = "Create Document";
    btnCreate.Click += new EventHandler(btnCreate_Click);
  
    //Form settings
    ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(450, 150);
    Controls.Add(label);
    Controls.Add(btnCreate);
    Text = "Create Word";
}

Step 5: Add the following code in the btnCreate_Click event handler in Form1.cs to create a Word document with simple text.

// Creating a new document.
WordDocument document = new WordDocument();
//Adding a new section to the document.
WSection section = document.AddSection() as WSection;
//Set Margin of the section
section.PageSetup.Margins.All = 72;
//Set page size of the section
section.PageSetup.PageSize = new SizeF(612, 792);

NOTE

The code sample references image files (AdventureCycle.jpg, Mountain-200.jpg, Mountain-300.jpg, Road-550-W.jpg). Download these assets from the GitHub sample Data folder and ensure they are present in the application’s working directory (next to the .csproj file). The image bitmaps are loaded from the working directory at runtime. Copy these images to the application’s output (bin\Debug / bin\Release) directory, or use absolute paths based on Application.StartupPath to avoid file-not-found exceptions.

Step 6: Build the project.

Click on Build → Build Solution or press Ctrl+Shift+B to build the project.

Step 7: Run the project.

Click the Start button (green arrow) or press F5 to run the app.

You can download a complete working sample from GitHub.

By executing the program, you will get the Word document as follows.
