actually it is not showing any message.Simply gets hanged. Can't we do it in any other wayusing any lighter process. I have tried with regex below is my code: HTMLCode = HTMLCode.Replace(  ); HTMLCode = HTMLCode.Replace(
  ); HTMLCode = HTMLCode.Replace(	  ); HTMLCode = HTMLCode.Replace(\0  ); HTMLCode = Regex.Replace(HTMLCode \s*  ); HTMLCode = Regex.Replace(HTMLCode @[^\w\.@-] ); // Remove multiple white spaces from HTML String Pattern=[^a-zA-Z0-9 ]; Regex oRegex = new Regex(Pattern RegexOptions.IgnoreCase); MatchCollection matches = oRegex.Matches(HTMLCode); //Text = oRegex.Replace(Text ); //HTMLCode = oRegex.Replace(Text ); //Regex oRegex=new Regex(patternRegexOptions.IgnoreCase); //MatchCollection matches=oRegex.Matches(HTMLCode); //HTMLCode = oRegex.Replace(HTMLCode ); StringBuilder sbHTML = new StringBuilder(); for (int i = 0; i { //if ((HTMLCode[i] >= '0' && HTMLCode[i] = 'A' && HTMLCode[i] //{ // sbHTML.Append(HTMLCode[i]); //} Match m = matches[i]; if (m.Success) { if (m.Value != @) { HTMLCode = HTMLCode.Replace(m.Value  ); } } } But this code also not able to show proper data.Some meta data of word document wth junk values are showing.Is their any pattern in regex which will replace this kind of junk values.Or any other process?

Sanjib Can you explain exactly what is happening at your side i mean what error you are getting or send screenshot of that error page so that i can come to know.

That one also i have tried but that is reducing scalability and moreover this is not working in windows 2003 server. I had set permissions also but still did not work.

Hi Sanjib All you have to do it is to add reference in your application named Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word and then by using this namspace using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word; you can write code for it for example: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.ApplicationClass Application = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.ApplicationClass(); object nullobj = System.Reflection.Missing.Value; object file = Specify path for word file; Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document doc = Application.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 ref nullobj ref nullobj ref nullobj ref nullobj); doc.Activate(); string Doc_Content = doc.Content.Text; TextBox1.Text = Doc_Content; doc.Close(ref nullobj ref nullobj ref nullobj);

Hi That means you want to upload the resume(in word format) through code right? and displaying that in proper format in browser means you want to show it in some textbox or similar to that?
