"Download as Word" - Add User Info

This code sample is related to the Office XML and CSS technique of generating a Word document dynamically. If you need user information to be embedded inside the Word document that you generate from code, use the DocumentProperties Element. Detailed info about the DocumentProperties Element can be found in the Microsoft Office HTML and XML Reference. The document properties shown in the sample below are directly borrowed from the DocumentProperties Element sample in the Reference.

Please post any questions you may have in the Comments section of the original Code Project article.

As the output of this program is a Word document rather than HTML, we can use a Generic Handler (ASHX).View Output (ASPX)

using System.Web;

using System.Text;
