Following code is an example on how to add horizontal lines to Microsoft Word document by using DocX package programmatically in C# without needing of Microsoft Word installed.
Following prerequisites are required to create Microsoft Word document programmatically:
DocX package
Visual Studio 2013 / Visual Studio 2015 (Free Community Edition will do)
Basic understanding on how to code in C# (C Sharp)
Basic tutorial on how to start coding with DocX package can be found on our blog post DocX – A short tutorial for beginners HelloWorld()
Following code provides basic example usage on adding horitzonal lines to your Word Documents programatically with C#.
static void HelloWorldInsertHorizontalLine()
{
Console.WriteLine("\tHelloWorldInsertHorizontalLine()");
// Create a new document.
using (DocX document = DocX.Create(@"docs\HelloWorldInsertHorizontalLine.docx"))
{
// Insert a Paragraph into this document.
Paragraph p = document.InsertParagraph();
// Append some text and add formatting.
p.Append("Hello World!^011Hello World!")
.Font(new FontFamily("Times New Roman"))
.FontSize(32)
.Color(Color.Blue)
.Bold();
p.InsertHorizontalLine("double", 6, 1, "auto");
Paragraph p1 = document.InsertParagraph();
p1.InsertHorizontalLine("double", 6, 1, "red");
Paragraph p2 = document.InsertParagraph();
p2.InsertHorizontalLine("single", 6, 1, "red");
Paragraph p3 = document.InsertParagraph();
p3.InsertHorizontalLine("triple", 6, 1, "blue");
Paragraph p4 = document.InsertParagraph();
p4.InsertHorizontalLine("double", 3, 10, "red");
// Save this document to disk.
document.Save();
Console.WriteLine("\tCreated: docs\\HelloWorldInsertHorizontalLine.docx\n");
}
}
After running above code new file is created called HelloWorldInsertHorizontalLine.docx
After opening Microsoft Word .docx document it should look like this:
Above example is part of DocX Examples and can be found in DocX source package under Examples \ Program.cs. This example uses RelativeDirectory.cs class. It's required for the code sample to work and are included in the sources of DocX.
Keep that in mind when working with the code to either download the DocX package or change the code appropriately. Below you can find Relative Directory class just in case you have no access to sources.
using System;
using System.IO;
namespace Examples
{
class RelativeDirectory
{
// Author D. Bolton see https://cplus.about.com (c) 2010

}
public string Path
{

try
{
DirectoryInfo newDir = new DirectoryInfo(value);
_dirInfo = newDir;
}

}
}
}
public RelativeDirectory()
{
_dirInfo = new DirectoryInfo(Environment.CurrentDirectory);
}
public RelativeDirectory(string absoluteDir)
{
_dirInfo = new DirectoryInfo(absoluteDir);
}
public Boolean Up(int numLevels)
{
for (int i = 0; i < numLevels; i++)
{
DirectoryInfo tempDir = _dirInfo.Parent;
if (tempDir != null)
_dirInfo = tempDir;
else
return false;
}
return true;
}
public Boolean Up()
{
return Up(1);
}
public Boolean Down(string match)
{
DirectoryInfo[] dirs = _dirInfo.GetDirectories(match + '*');
_dirInfo = dirs[0];
return true;
}
}
}
