.NET Efficient way to generate WORD Doc - Server Side

Question

.NET 4.0

I am looking for the easiest way to generate a Word document on our server.

Limitations :

• Server side
• I don't want to install word on the server
• Data source is XML

I tried to generate a DOCX with XSLT which is fast and easy but the only way I could find to validate the generated document is to open it with Word and the only error I get when the document is not valid is "Error while opening document". Not very useful.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Alex

Answer 1

Keeping far from office automation at server side is really a good idea (since even Microsoft does not support this scenario).

I have never used, but this lib looks promising. Have you tried it?
