Step 3. Import the needed namespace into the MainWindow.xaml.cs class.

C#

Step 4. Design WPF UI form using XAML codes

Xaml

<Grid>         <Grid.RowDefinitions>              <rowdefinition height= "></RowDefinition>"              <rowdefinition></ rowdefinition>         </Grid.RowDefinitions>          <label name= "Lable1" margin= "3,6,0,0" content= "Word Document:" Verticalalignment= "Top" horizontalalignment= "left"/>         < textbox  name= "Txbselectedwordfile" verticalalignment= "Top"   horizontalalignment= "Stretch" Margin= " 110,10,300,0 "horizontalcontentalignment=" left "/>         <Button Horizontalalignment= "Right" verticalalignment= "Top" width= "content=" "Select Word File" name= "Btnselectword" Margin= "0,10,130,0" click= "BtnseLectword_click "/>         <button HorizontalAlignment=" left "Margin = "3,40,0,0" verticalalignment= "Top" content= "View Word Doc" width= "" Name= "Btnviewdoc" click= "Btnviewdoc_click"/ >         <documentviewer grid.row= "1" name= "Documentviewword"  Verticalalignment= "Top" horizontalalignment= "left"/>     </Grid>  

Step 5. Handle the events in behind class.

C#

ToString ());                 return null;            }              finally              {                  WordApp.Documents.Close ();                  ((_application) WordApp). Quit (wdsaveoptions.wddonotsavechanges);             }        }             //<summary>        ///  View Word Document in WPF documentview control        //</summary>& nbsp;       //<param name= "Sender" ></param>         //<param name= "E" ></param>          private void Btnviewdoc_click (object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)           {             String worddocument = txbselectedwordfile.text;             if (string.

");             }              else             {                  string convertedxpsdoc = string. Concat (Path.gettemppath (), "\ \", Guid.NewGuid (). ToString (), ". Xps");                  XpsDocument xpsdocument =convertwordtoxps (worddocument, Convertedxpsdoc);                  if (xpsdocument = = null)                   {                      return;                 }                      documentviewword.document = xpsdocument.getfixeddocumentsequence ();              }        }
