Word Doc from Database


Hi i am creating an application that help the user to upload his word documents to an sql server database
i want to bind a datagrid to the database so the user can see what he uploaded. also, when the user clicks on the document title it will load it in Microsoft Word so he can read it.

any idea how to bind the datagrid to the documents stored in the databse and how to load a document into Microsoft word?

Hmm. This is an intersting question because, presumably, you are storing the word doc in a binary field inside of SQL which means you can't bind a grid to that column and have it display anything worthwhile. What you would actually have to do is, before you insert the document into the database, is open it up in code and read all of the information contained in it and then display that information back to the user.

I would suggest looking ont he MSDN and google.

Hth.

okay, what if make the document title a link that will download the document if the user clicks on it?

i think it is possible, but i don't know how to write the code for that... can you help me?
