Model Cs

The document discusses how to generate documents using a view model. It explains that a view model can be specified when creating a document and that different models can be passed when generating the same document multiple times. The view has access to the model through the Model property. An example model is provided with properties like Title, Date, Countries, and others. The document contains code snippets showing how to generate a table and paragraphs from the model.

<%=Model.

Introduction
You can specify a view model when you create a document:

var document = DocumentFactory.Create(viewPath, model);


document.Generate(documentPath);

The specified model will be used for every generated document. If you want to generate the same
document multiple times but with different models, specify a model when calling Generate:

document.Generate(documentPath, model);

The assembly containing the model will automatically be referenced. Also, the namespace of the model
will be imported automatically.

From the view (i.e. this Word document), the model can be accessed through the Model property. This
property is strongly typed, so you can access all fields/properties/methods without casting. In this
example, the model is of type Model.Models.MyViewModel and looks like this:

public class MyViewModel


{
public string Title { get; set; }
public string Date { get; set; }
public List<Country> Countries { get; set; }
public DateTime? AverageDateProclaimed { get; set; }
public int? AveragePopulation { get; set; }
}

Because we’ll be using the extension method MyToString, we need to import its namespace using the
Import directive.

<%@ Import Namespace="Model" %>


DoSomething()
Now let’s do something with our model.

<% if (Model.Countries.Count > 0) { %>

The following table consists of <%= Model.Countries.Count + 2 %> rows.

<% foreach (var c in Model.Countries) {! %>

Country Population Date proclaimed


<%=c.Name%> <%=c.Population / <%=
1000000%> M c.DateProclaimed.My
ToString() %><%
AppendRow(); %>
Average <%= <%=
Model.AveragePop Model.AverageDatePr
ulation / 1000000 oclaimed.MyToString(
%> M ) %>

<% } %>
<% } %>

It’s also possible to generate paragraphs instead of table rows, like this:

<% if (Model.Countries.Count > 0) { %>

<% foreach (var c in Model.Countries) { %>

Country
Name: <%= c.Name %>
Population: <%= c.Population / 1000 %> K
Date proclaimed: <%= c.DateProclaimed.MyToString() %>

<% } %>

Average population: <%= Model.AveragePopulation / 1000 %> K


Average date proclaimed: <%= Model.AverageDateProclaimed.MyToString() %>

<% } %>

Document generated on <%= Model.Date %> in CLR runtime version <%= Environment.Version %>.
