Hi,

How do I open a Word or Excel document inside an event handler (e.g.,
Page_Load())?

Thanks,
Simon

It is intended to be shown to the end user as a read-only document.

Response.Redirect("SomeFile.doc");

If that's too simplistic for you then look into Response.WriteFile.

Here's more info:

In that case just return the document in the HTTP stream. You can open a
file stream to the Word document and the stream it into
Response.OutputStream. You should set hte content type to:
"application/msword".

Actually if the file lives on disk the following is the most efficient way
to get data back to the client:

Response.ContentType = "application/msword";
Response.TransmitFile(@"d:\articles\blog.doc");
Response.End();
Otherwise you have have to stream into Response.OutputStream().

Depends where you want to open it. Do you want to open it server-side so you
can do some processing on it, or do want to open it client-side so that the
user can view / edit it?
