Problem in opening .doc file

kumar_raj13 · March 12th, 2006, 02:50 AM

Hello All Friends,
I am raj from New Delhi,India.

I am making a project in C# where in the Button click I am opening a .doc file.

System.Dignostics,process.start("Winword.exe","pat h of file");

Now this query Open the specified document if document has no space in it's name(hello-me.doc) but if there is space in the document name(hello me.doc) then the document doesn't opens.
Why this is happening.Is there's another way of doing this.

thanks........raj

I tried to open a document file "C:\\Test Doc.doc" using following code. It worked fine. Please checkout if it would solve your issue.

Code:

System.Diagnostics.Process p = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
p.StartInfo.FileName = "C:\\Test Doc.doc";
p.Start();

Note: This code will launch the .doc file in its default application. In my case it is MS Word.

If the system running your code has some other application, say Word Viewer, set as the default application to handle .doc files, you might need a work around to open it in MS Word.
