Merging XLTM Files

Introduction

In this tutorial, we will explore how to merge XLTM (Excel Macro-Enabled Template) files. GroupDocs.Merger for .NET is a powerful library that enables developers to manipulate and merge various document formats programmatically. This guide will walk you through the process of merging XLTM files step by step using C#.

Prerequisites

Before getting started, ensure you have the following prerequisites in place:

• Visual Studio installed on your system.
• Basic knowledge of C# programming.
• GroupDocs.Merger for .NET library installed. You can download it from here.
• Access to XLTM files that you want to merge.

Import Namespaces

Begin by importing the necessary namespaces into your C# project.

using System; 
using GroupDocs.Merger;
using System.IO;

Now, let’s dive into merging XLTM files.

Step 1: Initialize Output Directory

string outputFolder = "Your Output Directory";
string outputFile = Path.Combine(outputFolder, "merged.xltm");

Replace "Your Output Directory" with the path where you want to save the merged XLTM file.

Step 2: Merge XLTM Files

// Load the source XLTM file
using (var merger = new GroupDocs.Merger.Merger("Your Sample File"))
{
    // Add another XLTM file to merge
    merger.Join("Your Sample File");
    // Merge XLTM files and save result
    merger.Save(outputFile);
}

In this code snippet:

• “Your Sample File” and “Your Sample File” represent the paths to your input XLTM files. Ensure to replace these with the actual file paths.

Step 3: Display Output Location

Console.WriteLine("\nXLTM files merge completed successfully. \nCheck output in {0}", outputFolder);

This code will display a message indicating the successful completion of the merge operation along with the output directory path.

Conclusion

By following this tutorial, you’ve learned how to merge XLTM files. This library offers extensive capabilities for document manipulation, providing developers with a robust toolset for handling document-related tasks programmatically.
