Question

How to save doc, docx, pdf file into database which is also called by aspx page to show content of that file like a web page..

Debra Duchene · Answer

Hi, first regarding the file storing, well generally you would save a byte array to a database, but this could depend on the database server because for example SQL Server 2008 and above support a FILESTREAM data type for exactly this situation. You can retrieve this files directly with file stream or indirectly by creating a file stream from its byte array. Now regarding the showing the file to a page, as mentioned by Ravi you can display the PDF files with IFrame and you can also convert you other word documents (DOC, DOCX) to a PDF in .NET , like the following: DocumentModel.Load(wordFileStream, LoadOptions.DocxDefault).Save("Document.pdf", SaveOptions.PdfDefault); I use this Word component for .NET in any sort of document conversions. Also you could just redirect your client to a PDF file, most modern browsers have a PDF viewer so you could take advantage of that. You could also try converting your documents into an image and use that image on you page, or you could convert them to a HTML file.
