C# - Why Does Web Application Timeout Using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word
Feb 21, 2011
I have been using using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word in my webserver (yes, i know it is not recommended). When I ran it on my machine, it runs fine, but when running on the server I get a timeout on the following line:Documents.Open //when trying to open the file.Is there something I'm missing? Is there a better way to edit a Word document within web servers/websites? (I can't create a new one using string builder or outputting into file; I need to edit an existing one that sits on the server.)
I'm hoping this is an easy one...I'm using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word to convert uploaded word documents into previewable html files. I haven't implemented it fully, but I've played around with it enough that I think I have a plan that will work... My question revolves around
[Code]....
I'm not in love with the idea of opening word and closing it everytime there's an upload (which I hope is a lot of the time) I'd like to make this a shared object that loads at application start. I have 2 questions that go along with this. 1. I imagine that winword could lock up and that would be a problem, right? 2. to save a document I use wordapp.ActiveDocument, this could have an issue as a shared object, right? I think I'm talking myself right out of this...
while I still had Office 2007 still on my development PC. I recently upgraded to Office 2010 and even though the web.config file still remains with the above assembly reference, when I publish it and run it now i keep getting the following error ...
Quote:
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
I also have installed the PIA for Version=14.0.0.0 on the server but I still get the same result.
I am creating a pivot table excel sheet in my ASP .NET web application using Microsoft Office Interop Excel 12.0 components. It is creating the excel file correctly, when i run it from my Visual Studio 2008 in Debug/Release mode.
But when i deploy the solution in IIS 7, first i got some permission issues, which i resolved by giving permission in the DCOMCNFG file. Now i am getting the following error, when trying to open the Excel file:
[code]....
These are the code which i used to open and close the excel application object
I wrote some code about sending mail, Task, Appoinment etc. For example you can add someone to your outlook contact list over asp.net page. Every thing is ok on my local machine. But if I publish my application to a server I can not add noone on my outlook.
I'm having some difficulty merging multiple word documents together using Microsoft Office Interop Assemblies (Office 2007) and ASP.NET 3.5. I'm able to merge the documents, but some of my formatting is missing (namely the fonts and images). My current merge code is shown below.
I wanto to create matrix report dynamically using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.dll so that i can create pivot table and Report from this, how i can create these kind of repots where in user will drag and drop the details and it will create reports.
i have an aspx page with one button on it the name of the page is Default.aspx
i have a physical microsoft office word file in the c drive
what i want to do is that when i press a button i open a microsoft office word located on the c drive then i add some text to it using c# code
then i want to open the file (that i edited and located in memory) in mircosoft office word to see the text that i have added
everything works fine but when i press the button i get a prompt that says do you want to open the file or save it .
questions:
so how can i directly open the file (located in memory) in microsoft office word without this prompt
also if i choose open from the prompt the file opens in the read only mode and the title of the file in the microsoft word become the name of the aspx page which is Default.aspx
I am trying to work with the Windows clipboard and Office Interop in an ASP.NET web application.Everything works well on my local machine running XP (i have created a Windows application first which ran perfectly well on local machine). Then I have executed it on a server running Windows Server 2003 and it worked there as well.Then I made a ASP.NET sample project and it worked on my local machine. However when this time I deployed it at the server, after banging my head with permissions, it started giving me this exception which i have no idea why it is doing this:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80048240): Shapes (unknown member): Invalid request. Clipboard is empty or contains data which may not be pasted here. at Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Shapes.Paste()
Is the problem with any sort of permissions again on clipboard? If yes, how can I grant appropriate permissions?
In my asp.net page, I am creating excel file using Office.Interop and saving. The application works correctly in my local. When I am deploying in Win 2003 server I am getting below Error. I don't have excel installed in server.
Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {00024500-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} failed due to the following error: 80070005
I have a wcf web service that uses the Word interop to produce documents. All works fine when I run it in visual studio, but when I host the web service in IIS (as it will eventually be on a server) and call it there it will fire up WINWORD.exe but then hangs on a call to the "_WordApp.Documents.Add" method and then times out. I realise that the difference between me running in VS and IIS is that in IIS it will now be running as ASPNET user and I have taken the following steps to try and fix this problem.
I used DCOMCNFG to allow permission for ASPNET on "Microsoft Office Word 97 - 2003 Document" (which I thought was strange as I have Office 2007 installed) and this got me past an earlier error that was stopping me instantiating Word, but then I got stuck where I am now.I then tried using impersonation in the web config to get Word to run as my user (as it does when using VS) but it still runs as ASPNET I've heard that this is because the first time a user fires up Word it pops up a modal form asking you to confirm your name and initials, and because ASPNET hasn't run Word before then I somehow need to get past this form. How can I login as ASPNET to do this? Does this sound right? If I can't do this, how I can get Word to run as a different user?
On my local machine i read excel cell for it I used Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel and there are microsoft office 2007 is installed on my system but when i host site at live server there are microsoft offie 2007 is not installed so that error comes that Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel could not load.
For it i also try to install o2007pia.msi on server but it gives error install microsoft office 2007 before install this product.
So that iwants to read excel cell with out install MS Office.
I have developed a website that allows users to upload office documents then uses the office object model to convert the document to an HTML file that it then displays in an iFrame. I have, of course, included references to Office.interop.word, and the site works fine on my development machine. When I uploaded it to my production server the site functions fine until I try to upload a document. I initially got a similar error that said "COM object not registered". I realized that Word wasn't installed on my production server. So I installed word and now when the server tries to access the word object model I receive the following error:
Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {000209FF-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} failed due to the following error: 80070005 Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))
I searched the registry for the corresponding CLSID and found a corresponding folder. I added full control to the IUSR_ account and due to the persistence of the error I eventually added full control to "everyone" and ensured these permissions inherited down to the rest of the folder. I then added full control to IUSR_ and again eventually added full control to "everyone" to my microsoft office folder. I don't know what other permissions to grant and where in order to make this "Access is denied" error go away. I must be granting them in the wrong place, because as far as I know I can't be any more permissive than "Everyone" "Full Control".
We have developed apllication in Microsoft VS 2008 and when we opening this same application with Microsoft VS 2010. Then it's asking to convert.
So can anybody tell me what it is converting exactly. Means it's open application in Microsoft VS 2010 and running properly also. But i am understanding whats happning while converting.
I have requirement where I need to allow users to upload a Word document with place holders for certain fields which can be found in the database. This will be their template. For example the place holders might be prepended with @@ or something. For example
Dear @@Title @@Lastname
They then can grab a record and hit export to Word document. This will then let them choose the template. They can select the template and then click continue. I will then get the template and replace the @@Title with the title field in the database for the selected record. I am not sure where to start or what components I need to do this.
From my initial investigation it seems that I can do this with the new open XML standard for Office 2007. So perhaps I should read in the template and save all the contents to a db table somewhere. Then when the use wants to export I get the contents again and then do a search and replace for the @@ placeholders and link them properly. Then save the document to the output stream again which will then bring up the save dialog on their browser.
I am using ASP.Net MVC and am in a hosted environment. I was also maybe contemplating dynamically creating a new View type and dynamically creating new views when the user uploads a template. Not sure that this approach will work though.
I am working on a project. I am using a textbox to allow user to save information in a database. How do I allow the user to format text just as they would have done in microsoft word?
I open Microsoft Word through ASP.NET , when I load by visual studio 2008 works well.but when I put my site in my IIS folder and access the site through Internet Explorer and click the button nothing happens.Don't happen anything. Why my code :
wdApp = New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application
We have a server, in that we have lots of word files, all these files are belonging to several authors.Now we want to share these word files from the server to the author to do revision. And update back the revision file to the server. providing me sample pages to do this using ASP.net. This is similar like Microsoft Office Live.
