Merging VSDM Files

Introduction

In this tutorial, we’ll explore how to merge VSDM (Visio Macro-Enabled Drawing) files using the powerful GroupDocs.Merger for .NET library. This library allows seamless manipulation of various document formats within .NET applications, including merging, splitting, and modifying document properties.

Prerequisites

Before diving into this tutorial, ensure you have the following prerequisites set up:

• Visual Studio installed on your machine.
• Basic knowledge of C# and .NET framework.
• GroupDocs.Merger for .NET library downloaded and tutorialsd in your project.
• Access to the VSDM files you want to merge.

Import Namespaces

First, let’s import the necessary namespaces into our C# project.

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

Step 1: Load Source VSDM Files

Begin by initializing the output directory and specifying the output file path where the merged VSDM file will be saved.

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

Step 2: Merge VSDM Files

Next, use the GroupDocs.Merger library to load and merge the VSDM files. Start by instantiating the Merger class with the path to the first VSDM file.

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

Step 3: Save Merged File

Execute the merge operation by calling the Join method and specifying the path to the second VSDM file. Then, use the Save method to save the merged VSDM file to the previously defined output path.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we’ve covered the essential steps to merge VSDM files using GroupDocs.Merger for .NET. This library offers a straightforward way to manipulate various document formats programmatically within .NET applications, enabling you to efficiently merge VSDM files.
