Contract Generator Tool (Development)
Some insurance brokers have a list of insurances and clients in XLS format and need to generate various contracts based on a contract template in DOC and DOCx format. The user can set up a database (XLS or XLSx) and required columns, which will be parsed into the contract. The application has a database of insurance in SQLite. The main window contains a list of clients with detailed information, where the user can instantly search clients, add required information (date, overpayment, insurance from database), choose contract templates, and generate a contract (DOC or DOCx) for the client. The UI is built in WPF and ADO.NET is used for parsing data from a Microsoft Excel file.

Technologies: C#/.NET, WPF, SQLite, ADO.NET
