Merge VSTM Files

Introduction

In this tutorial, we will explore how to merge VSTM (VSTemplate) files using GroupDocs.Merger for .NET. GroupDocs.Merger is a powerful document manipulation API that allows developers to merge, split, and manipulate various document formats seamlessly within their .NET applications.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following prerequisites set up:

  1. Visual Studio: Install Visual Studio IDE on your development machine.
  2. GroupDocs.Merger for .NET: Obtain and install the GroupDocs.Merger for .NET library. You can download it from here.
  3. .NET Framework: Ensure you have .NET Framework installed (version 4.6.1 or above).
  4. Basic Understanding of C#: Familiarity with C# programming language.

Import Namespaces

Before diving into the code, make sure to import the necessary namespaces in your C# project:

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

Step 1: Set Output Directory

First, specify the output directory where the merged file will be saved.

string outputFolder = "Your Output Directory";

Step 2: Define Output File Path

Combine the output directory with the desired output file name.

string outputFile = Path.Combine(outputFolder, "merged.vstm");

Step 3: Load Source VSTM File

Initialize the Merger object by loading the source VSTM file.

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

Step 4: Merge and Save

Add additional VSTM files to the Merger object using the Join method, then merge them together and save the result to the specified output file.

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

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have covered the essential steps to merge VSTM files using GroupDocs.Merger for .NET. By following these steps and utilizing the powerful capabilities of the GroupDocs.Merger library, you can efficiently manipulate VSTM files within your .NET applications.
