Web Forms :: Opening A WordprocessingML Document From The Browser?
Nov 1, 2010
We have this great asp.net web application that generates word documents (wordprocessingML) and saves them to the file system on the server. We are running IIS 6.0. I would like to know the best way to allow the user to click a link or something so they can open the document from the browser. I have been experimenting with the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word object, but am getting an error when I try to active the application object. I don't know if using this object is the best approach or if I should be doing something else.
I want to print the document in the ASP.NET without opening the document, i know the path and file name, Is there any option available in ASP.NET as in windows application
It is possible to create a PDF document in memory with iTextSharp that gives the user a choice to "open" or "save"?, and if it opens then it opens in a browser window.
At the moment the only I have save it to disk.
EDIT:
ok I've got it sussed. I did end up having to write the file to a folder, but it is only temporary as gets overwritten every time. Here is the solution for what it's worth:
private void GeneratePDF() { var doc1 = new Document(); string path = Server.MapPath("~/pdfs/"); string filepath = path + "Doc1.pdf"; PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc1, new FileStream(filepath, FileMode.Create));
We have an application that displays files in a network directory path and wondered if there is a way to open Windows Explorer (or something similar to show/open files or subfolders) from the browser and have it display the files and folders in that path.
any page that I open in my browser comes up blank.
I don't get any errors, it just comes up blank.
I also noticed that it seems to bypass forms authentication. For example, even though the page I open is blank, it is the actual page name that shows up in the browzer instead of the page that it usually redirects to for the forms authentication.
I have problem in my asp.net application. I have some file in floder (PDF, .doc, ,txt ) i want to open these files in my web browser .
Now my problem is large PDF files are not opeing in my browser even some less size pdf files are opeing prefectly and other files are also working good.
The following code i have wriiten to open the file
i am building an application everytime the user clicks on a particular link i want the page to load a PDF document. This pdf document is basically a questionnaire template.The PDF template will have questions that will have atleast 2 dropdown list, these options will be extract from an sql database into a drop down list within the pdf document.Further some of the questions on the questionnaire should have options and those options must must be poulated from an sql database.
I have a grid within another grid. In the detail grid I have image button for which I am giving the URL of documents in the source itself. On clicking on Image button, document can be opened for which I am using a Handler. The code for opening the document is written in the handler.This code is as below:
[code]....
The document can be opened when clicked on Image Button. but, the problem is taht after opening the document, I am unable to perform any other action in the grids.... Other actions like...selection in checkboxes(master grid contains few check boxes),other link buttons in detail grid....etc etc...I am getting the following errr:
PageRequestManagerParserErrorException: The message received from the server could not be parsed. Common causes for this error are when the response is modified by calls to Response.Write(), response filters, HttpModules, or server trace is enabled
This is because after opening any document,for any action again Handler is being called.
Is it possible to open a PDF always in a browser? That is no Download option will be provided by browser as a user will try to open that pdf file. My application is in ASP.NET (C#).
Developing a web application in C# which stores files in a tree structure in a server.
A project ( eg: ABC) has many sub folders (eg: ABC_sub1,ABC_Sub2...etc) . Each sub folder will have many types of files. (Eg: .dat,.txt .... etc)
I have stored the project name and the path to the parent folder ( in this case ABC) in a database.
Eg: \sereverNameTestMyProjectABC
What I need to do is when a user selects a given project ( eg; ABC) & clicks the link button component called "browse" to open the folder (\sereverNameTestMyProjectABC) in a new window.
I'm retrieveing pdf file from SQL Server 2008 and i wish to display it in new browsers tab. I successfully retrieved and displayed pdf document when i had pdf viewer installed.
My problem is, that after i unistalled pdf viewer, i got this window, which would be ok if the file wasn't WebForm2.aspx but let's say MyDocument.PDF
Am i doing something wrong? How could i achive that the file would be FileName.pdf and not FileName.aspx (in case of no viewer).
I have an asp.net project both in .net 2005 and 2008.It is working fine in my PC and page is opening from browser but not from other PC.I can able to connect the other pc's,ping it sure there is no connection problem with pc.I think should be in IIS or sharing from my PC.I need both in .net 2005 and 2008.
I have a button event when forces a download to the users browser, but I would like to know whether there is a way for the download open in a new sized browser window. Is there away to do this?
I have an ASP.NET/C# application that exports some data into an Excel spreadsheet using COM interop at the click of a Button control. When I click the button, Excel is opened with the generated spreadsheet. For what it's worth, here is the button code:
<asp:Button ID="export" Text="Export to spreadsheet" runat="server" OnClick="Export_Workbook" />
This works fine, except when I click the button, close the subsequent spreadsheet, and refresh the page. When the page is refreshed after clicking the button, the call to Export_Workbook() is made again and so the spreadsheet opens again. Firefox, for example, says this when you refresh: "To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier." This is something I want to avoid.
I'm sure there's a better way to accomplish what I'm trying to do, I'm just not sure what the best approach is.

How to solve Cross browser session Problem???When i login to my site and open a new tab,the session is shared.I want a new session for each tab.It is possible without using cookieless = 'true',but i cant use this.
Problem Statement: I have a details web page which has a unique sesssion ID generated per user. Now if a user does Ctrl + N or File > New Window and opens a new browser instance then the same session ID is genrated and user can update on both the windows differently and this leads to ambigous updates to DB. How can we stop user to open a new window or how can we detect that a new instance of the same session ID has been genrated twice so as to kill both the sessions with a user firiendly message.
