Documents that your code compares, imports, restyles or prints don't need an editor on the screen: the same work runs on the [TextControl](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol/textcontrol/llms-full.txt) of a form or on a [ServerTextControl](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol/servertextcontrol/llms-full.txt), which has the same programming interface without a user interface. The samples and articles below show such tasks in Windows Forms projects, together with articles whose code works in any .NET product of TX Text Control.

### Sample Projects

All projects are Windows Forms applications in C#, unless the table says Visual Basic. The version is the one the project references today; the code often dates from the year of the article.

| Example | What it shows | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Document comparison | Two documents compared word by word, with the differences marked as tracked changes, as described in [Word-based Document Comparison and Track Changes Using TX Text Control and C#](https://www.textcontrol.com/blog/2024/05/02/word-based-document-comparison-and-track-changes-using-tx-text-control-and-c-sharp/). .NET 8, version 33.0 | [TXTextControl.Windows.Forms.Comparison](https://github.com/TextControl/TXTextControl.Windows.Forms.Comparison) |
