Working with ASP.NET MVC

In your ASP.NET MVC application, please add the required assemblies in order to use DocIO. Refer here for assemblies required.

Save the document

The following code example illustrates how to save the Word document in ASP.NET MVC.

//Creates an empty Word document instance

WordDocument document = new WordDocument();

//Adds new section to the document

IWSection section = document.AddSection();

//Adds new paragraph to the section

IWParagraph paragraph = section.AddParagraph();

//Appends the text to the created paragraph

paragraph.AppendText("AdventureWorks Cycles, the fictitious company on which the AdventureWorks sample databases are based, is a large, multinational manufacturing company.");

//Export the document after saving

return document.ExportAsActionResult("Sample.docx", FormatType.Docx, HttpContext.ApplicationInstance.Response, HttpContentDisposition.Attachment);
'Creates an empty Word document instance

Dim document As New WordDocument()

'Adds new section to the document

Dim section As IWSection = document.AddSection()

'Adds new paragraph to the section

Dim paragraph As IWParagraph = section.AddParagraph()

'Appends the text to the created paragraph

paragraph.AppendText("AdventureWorks Cycles, the fictitious company on which the AdventureWorks sample databases are based, is a large, multinational manufacturing company.")

'Export the document after saving

Return document.ExportAsActionResult("Sample.docx", FormatType.Docx, HttpContext.ApplicationInstance.Response, HttpContentDisposition.Attachment)

Following extension class will help you to download the Word document.
