Hello Mark,

Thank you for the Quick response

I have being trying this from last 15 day , Searched in google not got any think till now.

Below are the ways I tried for opening the Document in the browser.

1) Opening the doc in the Browser

2) Copy the content of the file and save it in the rich text control

3) Tried with different approach for the content code.

4) Tried with iframe control.

5) Tried with the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE code

6) Tried to change the file in the jpg format.

Thank you in advance

Read Mark's response below: he is perfectly correct and you should take the time to research and learn how to do things for yourself rather than expect an answer be spoon-fed: you'll learn nothing that way.

You can't control every type of document. For instance, if the user has MS Word on their machine and they click a link to a Word document it will open in the client application. The same for other types of applications. The browser will first search for available plugins or handlers. If you want to guarantee opening in the browser then you would need to read the file and use Response.Write or Response.WriteBinary.

Is Google broken?

sorry mark, I got the code to read the data from the document but it is not displaying the data properly it is displayin some junk data or encrypted data

Below is the code

string[] lines = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines(@"C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\please wait\Attachments\test.doc");

// Display the file contents by using a foreach loop.
System.Console.WriteLine("Contents of WriteLines2.txt = ");
foreach (string line in lines)
{
// Use a tab to indent each line of the file.
Response.Write("\t" + line);
}

Thank you
