Hello,

I need to convert a doc or docx file into a image file which i can show in a picture box. I don't know how to do that. Somebody please help.

There are different ways you can do it:

1- Use print screen of the doc file and use it as jpeg.
2- Use a third party tool to do it
3- Covert the doc file to pdf and then convert it to jpeg file
4- use Print 2 image printer driver to save the doc file to jpeg

Make you choice....;-)

is there any way to change the document into byte array and then it to a image file...

you can do that using:

byte[] bytes = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(wordDocumentFilePath)

afterwards the byte array can be converted to jpeg..

i've used this code...
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application wordApp = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application();
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document wordDoc = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document();

object falseVal = false;


string fileName = @"D:\document.doc";
FLimage.PostedFile.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("~/temp") + "/test.docx");

System.IO.MemoryStream ms = new System.IO.MemoryStream(System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(Server.MapPath("~/temp") + "/test.docx"));
System.Drawing.Image img = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(ms);
img.Save(fileName, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);


but got an error "parameter is not valid" on the line
....Image.FromStream(ms);
use Doc to Image Converter .
