Writing to Ms Word File : Iwant to writea whole User Control...

I want to write a whole User Control to a file. This is what I am doing:

Convert the Control to HMTL:

Dim SB As New StringBuilder()
        Dim SW As New StringWriter(SB)
        Dim htmlTW As New HtmlTextWriter(SW)
        States1.RenderControl(htmlTW)

        Dim DataGridHtml As String = SB.ToString()
        Dim path As String = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("appPath").ToString()
        'Dim extension As String = ".html"
        Dim filename As String = "ApplicationConfirmation_" & txtName.Text

Try to print the HTML on a document:

This is what I had been doing:

'Dim open As Integer = QP.LoadFromFile(path + filename + ".doc")
        'QP.SetOrigin(1)
        'QP.DrawText(10, 100, 400.0, DataGridHtml)   <--- tried DrawHTMLText for PDF file
        'Dim save As Integer = QP.SaveToFile(path + filename + ".doc")

This is what I started doing and works perfectly:

Dim writer As StreamWriter
        writer = File.CreateText(path + filename + ".html")
        writer.WriteLine(DataGridHtml)
        writer.Close()

QuickPDf wrote HTML perfectly to an MS Word document along with some garbage Headers and Footers.
But since the HTML had table tags and everything in it, it did not write properly to a PDF file.
I just need to create a file, regardless of the application type. I have been using QuickPDf in other parts of my application,
so I wanted to stick to PDF file. But I had to change it. Still, if there is any way to modify those headers, I will appreciate some idea of how to go about doing it.

Can you post a code sample so we can see what you are doing ? As Ingo mentioned Quick PDF Library does not work with Word Documents.

Could it be that you are using MS Word to save your document to PDF and then using Quick PDF to load the PDF file and add extra text to it ?

Actually, what I am writing in the file is completely HTML. I tried writing it on PDF, but it comes up as HTML code. I looked up the DrawHTMLText, but apparently it does not support all the tags, hence the Word Document. I have been looking in the function reference for a function that will allow me to modify these headers and footers, but nothing yet.

Hi!

A bit curious ;-)
DrawText (and the whole QuickPDF-lib) is made for pdf-creation and
not for word-documents.

Cheers and welcome here,

Hi,

In my program I am opening a Word .doc document, using DrawText to write information on it and then save it sing SaveToFile function.

When I open the file in MSWord, all the text that I worte is visible, but on the top and bottom, there is some header adn footer information which loks like garbage. Is there any way to remove that or make it invisible?
