Read any document (like .doc, .rtf , txt ) in ASP.Net , C#

Here is the code that helps to read any document (like .doc, .rtf , txt )from specified location.

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.

The First Step is that, we need to add a COM reference (that’s how we
need to define the word application) to the project by right clicking in
the solution explorer on References->Add Reference. Click on the COM
tab and look for the Microsoft Word 9.0 Object Library. Click Select
and OK.

Now u need to add the line  <identity impersonate="true"/>

Like:

          <system.web>

          <identity impersonate="true"/>

in your  web.config .

Then here is the code u need to add in your summit button: :

protected void Submit1_ServerClick(object sender, EventArgs e)

{       

Word.ApplicationClass wordApp = new Word.ApplicationClass();

// Input box is used to get the path of the file which has to be 
   uploaded into textbox.

string filePath = inputbox.Value;

object file = filePath;

object nullobj = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;

// here on Document.Open there should be 9 arg.

Word.Document doc = wordApp.Documents.Open(ref file,
ref nullobj, ref nullobj,ref nullobj, ref nullobj, ref nullobj,
ref nullobj, ref nullobj, ref nullobj,ref nullobj, ref nullobj,
ref nullobj); 

// Here the word content is copeied into a string which helps to
   store it into  textbox.

Word.Document doc1 = wordApp.ActiveDocument;

string m_Content = doc1.Content.Text;

// the content is stored into the textbox.

m_Textbox.Text = m_Content;

doc.Close(ref nullobj, ref nullobj, ref nullobj);

}

Hope this helps,

Cheers,

Jay

doc.Close(ref nullobj, ref nullobj, ref nullobj);
}

I've to read the .doc files and displying contents in Richtextbox.. 

I've used the .doc file and using read purpose only ...Here i wrote the code

But I getting Error msg :

An unhandled exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' occurred in file_Management.exe"

Dim wordApp As Word.ApplicationClass = New ApplicationClass

Dim file As Object = myFileName

Dim Nothingobj As Object = System.Reflection.Missing.Value

Dim data As IDataObject = Clipboard.GetDataObject()

Hi, I saw your solution and the solution looks like marvolous if it can do as I need.

I have an original Word document, and I have an rich text or HTML text that I need to import from Data ( Oracle ) on the field called TextToMerge.

So, I need to append the the fields contains text ( HTML or Rich Text ), in an word document.

Is it possible to do? If yes, could you please send me an sample code, or link to my study?

Thanks in advance.

Regards.
