Word/Excel needed?

If i'm using :

Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"

or

Response.ContentType = "Application/msword"
Response.WriteFile(FilePath)

Does the user have to have Word and Excel installed on the client box to
view the files in IE6??
And if so, and they don't have a full version of Word, will this ContentType
fire up the free Word viewer automatically for viewing??

TIA much!

HarryYou could specify it as a RTF (rich text) with "application/rtf"

You may want to do a little client-side sniffer.. in a try/catch javascript
function, try to instantiate MS Word or excel (you could look up in the
registry what the progid's are..).. if you can't instantiate a programatic
version - then you know it's not installed and handle it accordingly..

It think the Word viewer should take over if Word is not on the machine. You
may run into some security settings on some browsers, depending on the zone.

WordDocument in Asp.Net Pages

Hi all,I want to show the word document/Text document in aspx file.Is there any control avaliable for this.(I want to restrict the user not to modify the .doc files)

Thanks in Advance
DanaHi danasegarane,

There are a some links for you: [Microsoft Word Documents from ASP.NET]
http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/wordapplication.asp
http://www.msdner.com/forum/thread520496.html

and [Creating Word Documents with XSLT]
http://weblogs.asp.net/cnagel/archive/2004/09/25/234188.aspx

Hi,

I don't think its possible with any of the controls available in ASP.Net. But the below third party control will be able to do it:

Hi danasegarane,

There are already some word dlls well defined thus you can utilized directly. Based on my understanding, the first thing you may need to do is to add microsoft.office.interop.word.dll as a reference in your asp.net project.

Here is the code that helps to read any document (like .doc, .rtf , txt )
from specified location. This is a web based application and this code is
written in C# as code behind in ASP.Net 2.0, where the word document
is hard to upload from client side. Here is the code that uploads the
document file and stores it into a string and from that I have placed
that string into a textbox..................

More info. you can take a look at:http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/wordapplication.asp?df=100&forumid=15166&exp=0&select=1651351

andhttp://eggheadcafe.com/tutorials/aspnet/b6f75379-840c-4745-a76c-04d43694333b/read-a-word-document-do.aspx

Hope my suggestion helps

WordML Browser-based Editor

Has anyone built a WYSIWYG browser text editor that outputs WordML (for storage in a DB)?
I need a system that can output heavily formatted legal documents, and I want them written in a web browser by users familiar with the standard MS Word tools.
Microsoft Word in a browser is what I want - able to generate tables of contents, give a page preview, (according to pre-defined page dimensions).
Am I dreaming or does this exist somewhere?I'll add a bit more detail so my needs are a bit clearer:
Consider this scenario: I have 4 lawyers working on a brief related to a mining company. These 4 lawyers are spread across three countries, and they need to collaborate on a lengthy brief which then needs to be reviewed by a barrister (back at head office) and then printed and filed (in hard copy) with the courts.
Our current approach to dealing with this is to send Word documents back and forth and to try and keep a record of where the most current version actually is... totally dependent on human accuracy and terribly error prone. Nightmare.
We needtrue collaborative authoring, across a secure web browser and location independent. We need it to be server based (in the example above, one of our lawyers was in the mountains of Argentina... downloading some huge java app onto a local PC was out of the question.)
We also want to eliminate the need to store huge file archives consisting of thousands of word docs - if all of the content of these docs was stored as some flavour of XML in a DB table we could reconstruct the file on demand, plus maintain a history listing of when the document was edited and by whom.
The best example I can think of is a combination of the Wiki technology (eg.www.wikipedia.org) with true WYSIWYG browser editing to a decent degree of sophistication.
If this doesn't exist, then one of you should build it... it would sell ferociously well (assuming its security could be demonstrated).

WordML and asp.net and client side browsers

Hi all

I have word documents that is saved as word 2003 xml.

My asp.net application allows users to see these files and download
them.

I would then like these files to be edited by the user in their
browser. How can I do this? What options do I have?you'd have to convert it to doc format by changing the content type and
saving the file as doc so that the browser can read it. The browser will
simply format it as xml if you use wordml

WordPress and Asp.Net 2.0

Hello,

Is there any control on how to integrate WordPress Blogs on an Asp.Net 2.0 web site?

Thanks,

Miguel

Since WordPress is a PHP/MySQL application, there's really no integration with ASP.NET at all. You can use it side by side with your web site of course, but you might want to use an ASP.NET blogging app like DasBlog.

One of them has 27 columns and as such it ignores the datagrid.width property
and goes right along the screen in a landscape fashion. the users want to
