RE: Merging two documents

[Kalpana Rajan]

Hi All

I am new to Syncfusion. I wanted to know how I can append two documents? Doc 2's contents into Doc 1.

Thanks
Kalpana

Hi Kalpana,

Thank you for your interest in Essential DocIO.
We do have options for cloning and merging document contents as follows:

C#:

// Cloning all the sections one by one and merging it.
foreach ( IWSection sec in doc2.Sections )
{
doc1.Sections.Add( sec.Clone( doc2 ) );
}

Could you please refer to the sample at following url after installing Essential DocIO?
C:\Program Files\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\4.4.0.51\Windows\DocIO.Windows\Samples\Advanced Features\CloningandMerging

Please let me know if you have any queries.

Regards,
Dhivya.

Hi,

I'm wondering if this is still the recommended way of merging two different documents. Or is there another method that does not involve cloning each section.

Thanks!

Hi Kalpana,

Thank you for your update.

Currently DocIO provide support for cloning and merging the entire content from source document (doc2.doc) to the destination document (doc1.doc) using ImportContent() method instead of cloning and merging each section. Please refer the code snippet from below illustrating the same. Try using the below code snippet and let us know if this helps you.

Code:
doc1.ImportContent(doc2);

Please refer the below UG link for more information

Please let us know if you have any questions.
