How to create Word document in WPF?

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 WPF.

Steps to create Word document programmatically in WPF:

1. Create a new WPF application project.

2. Install the Syncfusion.DocIO.Wpf NuGet package as a reference to your WPF application from NuGet.org.

3. Include the following namespaces in the MainWindow.xaml.cs file.

C#

using Syncfusion.DocIO.DLS;
using System;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Windows;

VB

Imports Syncfusion.DocIO.DLS
Imports System
Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports System.Windows

4. Add a new button in MainWindow.xaml to create Word file as follows.

XAML

<Button Click="btnCreate_Click" Margin="0,0,10,12" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Height="30" BorderBrush="LightBlue" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Width="180">
<Button.Background>
    <LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.5,-0.04" StartPoint="0.5,1.04">
        <GradientStop Color="#FFD9E9F7" Offset="0"/>
        <GradientStop Color="#FFEFF8FF" Offset="1"/>
    </LinearGradientBrush>
</Button.Background>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Height="23" Margin="0,0,0,-2.52" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Width="100">
    <Image Name="image2" Margin="2" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
    <TextBlock Text="Create Document" Height="15.96" Width="126" Margin="0,4,0,3" />
</StackPanel>
</Button>

5. Add the following code in btnCreate_Click to create Word document with simple text.

C#

//Creates a new instance of WordDocument (Empty Word Document)
using (WordDocument document = new WordDocument())
{
    //Adds a section and a paragraph to the document
    document.EnsureMinimal();
    //Appends text to the last paragraph of the document
    document.LastParagraph.AppendText("Hello World");
    //Saves the Word document
    document.Save("Result.docx");
}

VB

' Creates a new instance of WordDocument (Empty Word Document)
Using document As WordDocument = New WordDocument
    ' Adds a section and a paragraph to the document
    document.EnsureMinimal()
    ' Appends text to the last paragraph of the document
    document.LastParagraph.AppendText("Hello World")
    ' Saves the Word document
    document.Save("Result.docx")
End Using
