How to generate Word document(doc,docx) in ASP.NET?

Solution 1

You can create OpenXML documents using the Open XML SDK 2.0 for Microsoft Office. Note that this only applies to .docx, not .doc binary files from earlier versions of Word.

Documentation can be found here.

You can use WordML to create Word 2003 docx: http://www.informit.com/guides/content.aspx?g=xml&seqNum=176

And you can augment that with docx4j.NET for stuff which isn't easy out of the box with the SDK, such as mail merge, XHTML import, PDF export.
