how to read word doc file on web page in asp.net with c# ?

Hi, you could try this word processing library for C#, I found its API to be intuitive so it did not require any learning curve.
For example here is how you would read a Word file (DOC or DOCX) with C#:

DocumentModel doc = DocumentModel.Load("Document.doc", LoadOptions.DocDefault);

And if you need to display it to the client's browser then there are few ways you can try. You can convert your loaded Word file into a PDF file in .NET and redirect a client to it.

doc.Save("Document.pdf", SaveOptions.PdfDefault);

Or you could convert it to an image and display it in your page, or you could just convert it to a HTML file. The conversion is always achieved in the same manner, you just need to specify the SaveOptions.

Also if you want to stream a file to the client's browser (download the file), then you can export/stream your Word file in ASP.NET through the Response like the following:

doc.Save(this.Response, "Document.docx");

Hi,

Or you may want to use some .Net components:

Do you want to open Word and display contents directly in browser? Or, it's OK to download?

The following code is used to open Word with downloading.

        protected void Button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
        {
            //Create word document
            Document document = new Document();
            document.LoadFromFile("E:\\2013.02.18News.docx", FileFormat.Docx2010);

            //Save doc file.
            document.SaveToFile("Sample.doc", FileFormat.Doc,Response, HttpContentType.Attachment);
        }

I use a ASP.NET Word component.
