Easily create rich, complex Microsoft Word documents from your .NET applications. Docentric is a Microsoft Word document generation and reporting toolkit for .NET applications. It allows developers to incorporate document creation capabilities into any type of a .NET application without the need for Microsoft Word. At the heart of the toolkit is the Docentric Report Engine which comes in the form of a 100% managed .NET library.

No MS Word automation, no COM

The Docentric Report Engine is a 100% managed .NET class library that does not need MS Word to be installed on the production machine. Using Docentric as a document generation solution in your application will improve its stability and scalability.

Templating instead of Object Model approach

Using the Docentric toolkit, developers do not need to create a document from scratch using an API. They instead create and design a report template document in MS Word. Report templates have regular static content but also include data-bound elements. Later, at report generation time, the report template is processed by the Docentric Report Engine and merged with application data, resulting in the final report/document.

MS Word Add-In

Reports are designed in MS Word a widely used tool for authoring documents. Since the toolkit supports many features such as data binding, schema import and more, the toolkit also provides a MS Word Add-In that exposes these features and related functionalities. The Add-In does not suppress or disable any existing Word features.

Templates can be also authored by non-developers

Report templates can initially be created by developers who know which data the report will be bound to. The Docentric's Add-In for MS Word allows developers to import .NET classes and XSD files as schemas. Such templates can be easily modified and fine-tuned by anyone who can use MS Word.

Use .Net Objects or XML as data sources

Reports and documents can be populated by .NET objects directly, without converting them into a Data Tables or any other form first. Also .Net classes can be easily imported into report templates as schemas for data sources.

Can be used in any type of .NET application

Since the Docentric report engine is just an ordinary .NET class library it can be included into any .NET project and such an application can be anything from WinForms or WPF to ASP.NET or Windows service application.

Diagnostics and validations

Docentric toolkit has sophisticated diagnostics capabilities. All a report's data-bound fields are constantly checked against the imported schema in the Add-In and you will be immediately warned if you misspell a property name. If there is no schema available at the report template design time, then all data-binding errors will be caught by report engine at production time and will (by default) be written at the beginning of the resulting document.

Fast document creation

The Docentric report engine does not interop with COM and does not depend on MS Word in order to generate an MS Word document and therefore generates reports and documents with high speed.

Royalty free

Docentric Report Engine is completely royalty free which means that you pay for the product once and deploy the engine along with your applications without any limitation. This does not apply to the Docentric Add-In for MS Word.
