The WordTemplate Object |
 |
The WordTemplate object represents a WordWriter template. A
WordWriter template is a file created in Microsoft Word that contains
merge fields.
The WordTemplate object is in the SoftArtisans.WordWriter namespace.
The object can be referenced as
SoftArtisans.WordWriter.WordTemplate. To minimize typing and errors, use
an Import directive to import the namespace to the aspx page, and reference
the object as WordTemplate, without the namespace prefix.
If you are coding directly in the .aspx page, following the Page directive,
include:
<%@ Import Namespace="SoftArtisans.WordWriter" %>
If you are coding in the "code behind" page (.aspx.vb or .aspx.cs),
include an Imports or Using statement at
the top of the "code behind" page:
In VB.NET: Imports SoftArtisans.WordWriter
In C#: using SoftArtisans.WordWriter
To create an instance of the WordTemplate object use:
In VB.NET: Dim oWW As New WordTemplate()
In C#:WordTemplate oWW = new WordTemplate();
