<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head runat="server"> <title></title> </head> <body> <form id="form1" runat="server"> <div> <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Create Document" OnClick="OnButtonClicked" /> </div> </form> </body> </html>
- Include the following namespace in your MainPage.aspx.cs file.

C#
//Creates a new instance of WordDocument (Empty Word Document)
using (WordDocument document = new WordDocument())
{
//Adds a section and a paragraph to the document
document.EnsureMinimal();
//Appends text to the last paragraph of the document
document.LastParagraph.AppendText("Hello World");
//Saves the Word document to disk in DOCX format
document.Save("Result.docx", FormatType.Docx, HttpContext.Current.Response, HttpContentDisposition.Attachment);
}
