how to store resume format in asp.net ?

Question

Hello Everyone, I am developing online resume builder web application in asp.net. I have designed web forms in which we are taking all details (required for resume) from user. Now my next step is to retrieve values from database & put those values in resume format. My question is,

How to store that retrieve values in resume format ? Or How to create that format in asp.net so that I can store those values in that format ?

Should I design separate form for separate resume template ? If yes then how to convert that form in .doc or .pdf file ?

Answer 1

Yes, you'll want a separate web form for each HTML resume layout, or a separate template file for each PDF or Word layout.

To create a PDF file, you'll need a PDF library like iTextSharp. To create a Word file, you'll need to use the Microsoft Word Object Library.

Answer 2

You should use HR XML format as your standard. How you persist the data is up to your application needs.

Answer 4

Not quite sure exactly, what the question is.

If it's a matter of overall design... store the data in a relational database. On the "view" page, or your Resume Template page, you simply populate the fields with your data from the database.

Create an HTML or ASPX file depending on your needs and do the formatting or styling with CSS. If you want more than one template, create more than one CSS.

But there's no such thing as a global, standard resume. They differ based on region, culture, and industry.

I suggest that you need to on each HTML resume layout separate each HTML and template file for each layout. See sample resume template for samples..
