Creating MS-Word document from C#

In my workplace, I am developing procurement application. In this application, one of the requirement is to auto generate the tender form in MS-Word format for the selected vendors in the application. Vendor details and related informations are taken from the backend. To auto generate the document, I did the following. Get the MS-Word template file (filename.dot), in which the format the client wants, from the client From the developer side, I create the bookmarks in which they want to auto populate data. In the project workspace I added the reference of Word COMponent. ( I have used MS Office 2007 Component) Use the following code to generate the doc file. // Include the following namespaces using Microsoft.Office.Core; using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word; .... .... .... Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word. ApplicationClass wordApp = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word. ApplicationClass(); string fileDesPath = @"C:\temp\output.doc";    // Output file object oTemplate = @"C:\temp\template.dot";   // Template file object fileDes = fileDesPath; object missing = System.Reflection. Missing.Value; object Visible=true; Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word. Document adoc = wordApp.Documents.Add(ref oTemplate, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing); object oBookMark = "name"; // In template we have to find the bookmark "name" to replace the real data adoc.Bookmarks.get_Item(ref oBookMark).Range.Text = "Prakash"; object filename = fileDes; adoc.SaveAs( ref filename, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing); wordApp.Visible = true; doc.Close(ref nullobj, ref nullobj, ref nullobj);

iTextSharp

Today, I got the work to create the PDF document from ASP.net application. Using google I have searched any components which are available for free download. At that time, I got this component, iTextSharp, from Souceforge.net. Initially it is developed in Java with the name of iText. We can get the latest version of this component at http://sourceforge.net/projects/itextsharp/. In this link they provide the example code also. This component is very useful and easy to use for ASP.net developers. Sample code // step 1: creation of a document-object Document document = new Document(); try { // step 2: // we create a writer that listens to the document // and directs a PDF-stream to a file PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, new FileStream(@"C:\temp\Chap0101.pdf" , FileMode.Create)); // step 3: we open the document document.Open(); // step 4: we Add a paragraph to the document document.Add(new Paragraph( "Hello World")); } catch (DocumentException de) { Console.Error.WriteLine(de.Message); } catch ( IOException ioe) { Console.Error.WriteLine(ioe.Message); } // step 5: we close the document document.Close(); Some Article Links iTextSharp(iText#) example in asp.net - http://blog.rubypdf.com/2006/10/25/itextsharpitext-example-in-aspnet/ How to generate Arabic PDF files - http://www.developerfusion.co.uk/forums/p/40095/146877/

DLL Registration failure in VC++

Filter or DLL or .ocx registration Error : ------------------------------------------- Eventhough the DLL compiles and links well  while registering the filter or DLL or.ocx using regsvr32 utility, I got this Error. --------------------------- RegSvr32 --------------------------- .\Debug\HTTPWriterSinkFilterd.ax was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found. .\Debug\HTTPWriterSinkFilterd.ax does not appear to be a .DLL or .OCX file. --------------------------- OK   --------------------------- Solution Steps : ---------------    1.I Opened that DLL file in "Depends viewer" available in a visual studio tools  2. no function is exported from the DLL or filter file.  3.For Exporting the Functions, I used the .def file (module definition file).  4. Next I have opened the DLL,ax files in "Depends viewer" that are successfully registered   There the Dependency viewer displays the exported functions.  5. So the problem is in Exporting the functions  6. Next I opened the Project->Settings-> Linker->input ...  and I checked anywhere my .def file is specified there is nothing like that.  So I added the the following options   Project -> Settings-> Linker -> Input -> /DEF:My.def Now I compiled the application and register it with regsvr32 utitily. Now the registeration is done successfully . if I opened that registered DLL in "Depends viewer", It displays the exported functions.   PostScript : ------------   In Some DLLs,even though they created the application as DLL, without including this  "/DEF:my.def", that dll also registers well.
