how to download partial view as a word document in asp.net mvc?

Question

I want to download a partial view as a word document in asp.net mvc. I'm using Xceed Words Library. Here is my code.

public FileStreamResult Download()
  {
     DocX document = DocX.Create(@"Test.docx");

     //appending paragraph text
     Paragraph p = document.InsertParagraph();
     p.Append("I am ").Append("bold").Bold()

    var ms = new MemoryStream();
    document.SaveAs(ms);
    ms.Position = 0;

    var file = new FileStreamResult(ms, "application/vnd.openxmlformats- 
    officedocument.wordprocessingml.document")

     {
     FileDownloadName = string.Format("test_{0}.docx", 
     DateTime.Now.ToString("ddMMyyyyHHmmss"))
     };

     return file;
     }

instead of appending paragraph text, i want to append a partial view & generate a word document.

you just want to download the file, right? why should it be a partial view? — Krishna Chaithanya Muthyala, Mar 17 '19 at 14:41

am sorry...you want to see the content of docx file in the partial view? — Krishna Chaithanya Muthyala, Mar 17 '19 at 15:33
you didn't get it. i want to export partial view content into word document. please re-read the questions. — Mazdaq, Mar 17 '19 at 15:38
it's a strange requirement...not sure why you want to dump html in word document...let me ask one more question...you want to build a partial view in this same controller method and then dump it into the word document, correct? — Krishna Chaithanya Muthyala, Mar 18 '19 at 05:48

You can use Html.Action("Download", "YourController") in your partial view.
