Syncfusion^® Essential^® DocIO is a .NET Core 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 .NET Core application on Mac OS.

Steps to create Word document programmatically in .NET Core application on Mac OS

• Visual Studio
• Visual Studio Code
• JetBrains Rider

Prerequisites:

• Visual Studio 2022.
• Install .NET 8 SDK or later.

Step 1: Create a new .NET Core console application project.

Step 2: Select the project version.

Step 3: Install the Syncfusion.DocIO.Net.Core NuGet package as a reference to your project from NuGet.org.

NOTE

Starting with v16.2.0.x, if you reference Syncfusion assemblies from trial setup or from the NuGet feed, you also have to add “Syncfusion.Licensing” assembly reference and include a license key in your projects. Please refer to this link to know about registering Syncfusion^® license key in your application to use our components.

Step 4: Include the following Namespaces in the Program.cs file.

C#

using Syncfusion.DocIO;
using Syncfusion.DocIO.DLS;
using System.IO;

Step 5: Add the following code snippet in Program.cs file.

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. The output will be saved in bin folder.

Prerequisites:

• Visual Studio Code.
• Install .NET 8 SDK or later.
• Open Visual Studio Code and install the C# for Visual Studio Code extension from the Extensions Marketplace.

Step 1: Create a new .NET Core console application project.

• Open the command palette by pressing Ctrl+Shift+P and type .NET:New Project and enter.
• Choose the Console App template.

• Select the project location, type the project name and press enter.
• Then choose Create project.

Step 2: To create a Word document in console app, install Syncfusion.DocIO.Net.Core to the project.

• Press Ctrl + ` (backtick) to open the integrated terminal in Visual Studio Code.
• Ensure you’re in the project root directory where your .csproj file is located.
• Run the command dotnet add package Syncfusion.DocIO.Net.Core to install the NuGet package.
