Getting started with MigraDoc
Version 6.1.0
In this section
Learning the programming model
With MigraDoc you can create complex documents just like you do it with Microsoft Word or other word processors - but automatically in your application. Use MigraDoc’s document object model to assemble your document by code.
Check Document object model for a reference of the MigraDoc document object model to create and format documents.
The MigraDoc source code has XML documentation for all public classes and methods and the IntelliSense of Visual Studio will show you the available methods with their documentation.
You can also use the Grammar by Example tutorial to learn about the capabilities of MigraDoc. In Grammar by Example, the samples are written in MigraDoc Document Description Language (MDDDL), but you can mostly deduce the required C#, F#, or VB.NET code from it.
Sample source code
Sample code can be found on GitHub.
For samples that are included with MigraDoc 6.x, see here:
https://github.com/empira/PDFsharp.Samples/tree/master/src/samples/src/MigraDoc/src
Two of these samples are explained in Topics / Start.
More samples
