Open docx from asp.net

Question

I am trying to open a docx file with the following piece of code.
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "inline;filename=DisplayFileName.docx");
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document";
Response.WriteFile(fullpath);
Response.Flush();
Response.End();
The problem is that it throws up an error that file is corrupt. Is the above content type correct? Other file types are fine when the appropriate content type is given. The problem is only with docx. Please help. Its urgent...

Hi try this code to ASP.NET export to Word . // Use the component in free mode. ComponentInfo .SetLicense( FREE-LIMITED-KEY ); // Create a new empty document. DocumentModel document = new DocumentModel (); // Add document content. document.Sections.Add( new Section (document new Paragraph (document Hello World! ))); // Microsoft Packaging API cannot write directly to Response.OutputStream. // Therefore we use temporary MemoryStream. using ( MemoryStream documentStream = new MemoryStream ()) { document.Save(documentStream SaveOptions .DocxDefault); // Stream file to browser. Response.Clear(); Response.ContentType = application/vnd.openxmlformats ; Response.AddHeader( Content-Disposition  attachment; filename=Document.docx ); documentStream.WriteTo(Response.OutputStream); Response.End(); } This code uses this C# / VB.NET Word library.
