hello sachin singh and thanks for your respond... i am affraid that it doesnt work to save the page as .doc (word), because the page contains, imageMap, buttons, labels imageLinkbutton and so on... they must be in the form of aspx, so that other user can select email button to contact the user...
another example is making online hotel reservation, you can return and make changes... how it works for them?
i know that with MVC, it is simple, but i will do that in webform... i appreciate your help... kind regards

You can try using state management technique. Save the state in xml file and store in database. Whenever the page loads you will retrieve the xml file from database and show the state saved by the user.

use this, if it doesn't work let me know
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
            StringWriter tw = new StringWriter(sb);
            HtmlTextWriter hw = new HtmlTextWriter(tw);
            Page.RenderControl(hw);
            //var html = sb.ToString();
            HttpContext.Current.Response.Clear();
            HttpContext.Current.Response.Charset = "";
            HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/msword";
            string strFileName = "GenerateDocument" + ".doc";
            HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline;filename=" + strFileName);

            HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(sb.ToString());
            HttpContext.Current.Response.End();
            HttpContext.Current.Response.Flush();

hello and thanks for your respond...
i make a website, that people can make businesses with eacth other... they fill a form and save it and put it in the website... they can edit or delete their own page...
when they fill the page and save, it must be saved as aspx for eventually futuring changes...
i have used File.Create and File.copy... im afraid that File.Copy doeant work properly, because i refer to that folder, the form exists as a original, not filled... i must save the filled form... i havent find CurrentPage function in C#, asp net... how should i do that? i appreciate your help

You cannot achieve this functionality in aspx pages. If you still want to use aspx pages, then you have to maintain role for Users, so that Users can edit the data by accessing the application but cant save the file locally and edit.

hello and thanks for your responds... i must be more clearly:
i make a website, there a suer can fill the page and put it in the website... therefore i must save the current page in a user folder (by pressing save button), so that other users can see that page... the user can later, edit the page too... therefore the saved page must be in aspx format... i have tried with File.Create and File.Copy, but nothing happens???!!!
any suggestions? convertion aspx to pdf, is not exactly what i will...
i appreciate any help... kind regards

You can create a PDF using one of the PDF creators or generate a report using a Report Writer.

You can save the data in xml or excel format. If needed you can print the web page and save as pdf or other format and request User to choose where to save the file.
