In This Topic

While you are still in code view in the Visual Studio project, add the following code within the btnText_Click event:

Visual Basic
C#

Visual Basic

' create document
Dim word = New C1WordDocument()
word.Clear()

' measure and show some text 
Dim text = "Hello!! This is a sample text."
Dim font = New Font("Segoe UI Light", 20, RtfFontStyle.Italic)

' add paragraph
word.AddParagraph(text, font, Colors.BlueViolet, RtfHorizontalAlignment.Justify)

' get stream to save to
Dim dlg = New SaveFileDialog()
dlg.FileName = "document"
dlg.DefaultExt = ".docx"
Dim dr = dlg.ShowDialog()
If Not dr.HasValue OrElse Not dr.Value Then
        Return
End If

' save document
Using stream = dlg.OpenFile()
        word.Save(stream, If(dlg.FileName.ToLower().EndsWith(".docx"), FileFormat.OpenXml, FileFormat.Rtf))
End Using
MessageBox.Show("Word Document saved to " + dlg.SafeFileName)

// create document
var word = new C1WordDocument();
word.Clear();

// measure and show some text 
var text = "Hello!! This is a sample text.";
var font = new Font("Segoe UI Light", 20, RtfFontStyle.Italic);

// add paragraph
word.AddParagraph(text, font, Colors.BlueViolet, RtfHorizontalAlignment.Justify);

// get stream to save to
var dlg = new SaveFileDialog();
dlg.FileName = "document";
dlg.DefaultExt = ".docx";
var dr = dlg.ShowDialog();
if (!dr.HasValue || !dr.Value) {
  return;
}

// save document
using(var stream = dlg.OpenFile()) {
  word.Save(stream, dlg.FileName.ToLower().EndsWith(".docx") ? FileFormat.OpenXml : FileFormat.Rtf);
}
MessageBox.Show("Word Document saved to " + dlg.SafeFileName);

In the above code, a word document is created with some text is added to it using AddParagraph method. It allows you to save the created document to the location of your choice. You can select the desired location and if you want, you can change the name of the document as well. The document is then saved with the name, document.rtf or the name you provided it.
