Headers & Footers
Headers and footers are attached to sections. Use AddHeader/AddFooterwith a HeaderFooterType to target the Default, First, or Even variants. They are full containers — you can add paragraphs, images, tables, or shapes.
Simple Header and Footer
Use case: Add a title and page footer to every page.
C#
1using Vega;
2using Vega.DOM;
3
4var doc = new VDocs();
5
6doc.AddHeader(HeaderFooterType.Default).AddParagraph().AddText("Confidential Report");
7doc.AddFooter(HeaderFooterType.Even).AddParagraph().AddText("Internal Use Only");
8
9doc.AddParagraph().AddText("Body of the document.");
10doc.SaveAsWord("report.docx");
Different First-Page Header
Use case: Use a distinct cover header, different from other pages.
C#
1var section = doc.Sections.First();
2
3var coverHeader = section.AddHeader(HeaderFooterType.First);
4coverHeader.AddParagraph().AddText("Cover Page");
5
6var defaultHeader = section.AddHeader(HeaderFooterType.Default);
7defaultHeader.AddParagraph().AddText("Confidential");
Header with Image and Page Number
Use case: Show a logo and current page number in the header.
C#
1var header = doc.AddHeader(HeaderFooterType.Default);
2header.AddImage("logo.png").SetDimensions(60, 24, Units.pt);
3header.AddParagraph().AddText("Page "); // Page number field can be appended here
