The article will introduce an easy way to convert Word to Emf by a powerful and independent Word .NET component called Spire.Doc, without Microsoft Word installed on the machine. It also offers support for converting Word and HTML to frequently-used image formats like Jpeg, Png, Gif, Bmp and Tiff, etc. Just click here to have a try.
Emf is a file extension for Enhanced MetaFile, used as a graphics language for printer drivers by the Windows operating system. In 1993, a newer version with additional commands 32-bit version of Win32/GDI introduced the Enhanced Metafile (Emf). Microsoft also recommends enhanced-format (Emf) functions to be used instead of rarely being used Windows-format (WMF) functions.
Spire.Doc presents almost the easiest solution to convert Word to Emf through the following 5 lines simple code.
using Spire.Doc;
using System.Drawing.Imaging;
namespace DOCEMF
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// create an instance of Spire.Doc.Document
Document doc = new Document();
// load the file base on a specified file name
doc.LoadFromFile(@"../../Original Word.docx", FileFormat.Docx);
//convert the first page of document to image
System.Drawing.Image image = doc.SaveToImages(0, Spire.Doc.Documents.ImageType.Metafile);
// save the document object to Emf file
image.Save(@"../../Convert Word to Image.emf", ImageFormat.Emf);
//close the document
doc.Close();
}
}

}
}
}
Imports System.Drawing
Imports Spire.Pdf.Graphics
Imports Spire.Pdf.HtmlConverter.Qt
Module Module1
Sub Main()
HtmlConverter.Convert("http://www.wikipedia.org/", "HTMLtoPDF.pdf", True, 100 * 1000, New SizeF(612, 792), New PdfMargins(0, 0))

The aim of the article is to introduce the procedure of exporting data into Office OpenXML in only two steps with a .net component. Spire.DataExport is a completely pure .NET component suit for exporting data into MS Excel, MS Word, HTML, Office OpenXML, PDF, MS Access, DBF, RTF, SQL Script, SYLK, DIF, CSV, MS Clipboard format. It has high performance for exporting data from Command, ListView, DataTable components, which help you to save much time and money.
Please download Spire.DataExport for .NET, add Spire.DataExport.dll as reference and set its target framework as .NET 4. Besides, many developers also check and download another C# excel component together - Spire.XLS for .NET.
Step1: Function to fill data in datatable
In this step, Spire.DataExport will help to load Data information from the datatable. After setting up the data source and SQL command, we can even preview and modify data through DataGridVew before exporting.
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
oleDbConnection1.ConnectionString = txtConnectString.Text;
oleDbCommand1.CommandText = txtCommandText.Text;
using (OleDbDataAdapter da = new OleDbDataAdapter())
{
da.SelectCommand = oleDbCommand1;
da.SelectCommand.Connection = oleDbConnection1;
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
da.Fill(dt);
dataGridView1.DataSource = dt;
}
}
Check the Screenshot below:

Step2: Export Data to Office OpenXML
The code below shows how to export data from the datatable to Office OpenXML. Spire.DataExport will create a new Office OpenXML and export data into Office OpenXML through DataGridView. It also allows you to rename the generated Office OpenXML in this step.
private void btnExportToXml_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Spire.DataExport.XML.XMLExport xmlExport = new Spire.DataExport.XML.XMLExport();
xmlExport.DataSource = Spire.DataExport.Common.ExportSource.DataTable;
xmlExport.DataTable = this.dataGridView1.DataSource as DataTable;
xmlExport.ActionAfterExport = Spire.DataExport.Common.ActionType.OpenView;
xmlExport.FileName = @"..\..\ToXml.xml";
xmlExport.SaveToFile();
}
