display Word Document on Webform

[Developer]

Hi,

I have tried to search on the intenet for this with no Luck!!

My question is, Is there a way to display the contents of a microsoft word document on a webpage or is this only limited to types of formats like .txt, etc?

If there is how would I go about implementing this, has anyone got any sample code?


Thanks.

There is an ActiveX control DsoFramer that can be used to display Office documents, it can be used both on winforms and webforms. There is not much info about this, especially for webforms I find just about nothing, there is a sample html form included in the download that display the control as a Object tag. Here some general info about How to host ActiveX controls in a Web form. It appear that doing this (if you manage to do it at all) result in client-side operation, so you might as well send the document in back to the client though the response stream, see for example http://www.mail-archive.com/aspnet2@yahoogroups.com/msg00378.html
