How do I insert headers and footers in a Winforms document?
In Winforms DocIO, Section Headers and Footers property is used to set the document headers and footers. We can insert document elements like images and tables inside the header and footer. Here is a code snippet that demonstrates the usage.
C#
// Creating a new document.
WordDocument doc = new WordDocument();
// Add a new section to the document.
IWSection section = doc.AddSection();
// Add a new paragraph for header to the document.
IWParagraph headerPar = new WParagraph(doc);
// Add the paragraph to the header section.
section.HeadersFooters.Header.Paragraphs.Add(headerPar);
// Add a new paragraph for header to the document.
IWParagraph footerPar = new WParagraph(doc);
// Add the paragraph to the Footer section. section.HeadersFooters.Footer.Paragraphs.Add(footerPar)
VB
'' Creating a new document.
Dim doc As WordDocument = New WordDocument()
'' Add a new section to the document.
Dim section As IWSection = doc.AddSection()
'' Add a new paragraph for header to the document.
Dim headerPar As IWParagraph = New WParagraph(doc)
'' Add the paragraph to the header section.
CType(section.HeadersFooters.Header.Paragraphs, WParagraphCollection).Add(headerPar)
'' Add the paragraph to the Footer section.
CType(section.HeadersFooters.Footer.Paragraphs, WParagraphCollection).Add(footerPar)
