How to edit uploaded documents in website itself using any Telerik control instead of download documents using ASP.NET

[Kamal]

Hi,

I have one web based application(VB.NET) and i am using .NET Upload functionality to upload files. But client is asking for one functionality, i.e Whatever uploaded file is there in Website, they want to edit the content there itself instead of download documents and edit. and then should click on Save and again it should save/uploaded same document with updated data instead of manually upload the file.
Example- If I have uploaded one Excel/Word document into website using Upload functionality. While i am trying to update same excel document , it should allow me to update there itself(i.e in website itself and save) instead of download document and again upload. our client do not want to download file and upload again. They want to edit there itself in website and save, it should update the file.
How to achieve this type of functionality in ASP.NET using C# or is there any option to do ? Please help me. If we will not able to achieve this type of functionality using ASP.NET, please help me in which technology we can use to get this type of functionality.

So i want to know, is there any Telerik tool to use for this type of functionality there, kindly send me some sample code to my mail id

Hi Kamal,

The UI for ASP.NET AJAX suite does not contain document editors. The closest available control is the RadRichTextBox for Silverlight: http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/#RichTextBox/TelerikEditor.

The WebForms control we have is RadEditor which is an XHTML editor. It can import and export MS Word files, but since it boils down to HTML, not all features are available (like paging, headers, footers, etc.): http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/editor/examples/ms-word-like-experience/defaultcs.aspx. You can use the export event to save the file on the server: http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/editor/server-side-programming/events/onexportcontent.
