How to open a selected document into Editor ?

[Anisha]

Hello, is it possible to open a selected document into the editor ? I'm looking to open a document into the editor when the editor loads up. I have gone through the demos and saw its possible to import a file to the editor, however I'm looking for the editor to open up a document selected in the controller.

Thank you

Anisha

Hi Anisha,

 

Thank you for writing to us.

This should be possible. Here is the related code snippet:

        public ActionResult Import(HttpPostedFileBase file)
        {
            var settings = new EditorImportSettings();
            string htmlResult;
            switch (Path.GetExtension(file.FileName))
            {
                case ".docx":
                    htmlResult = EditorImport.ToDocxImportResult(file, settings);
                    break;
                case ".rtf":
                    htmlResult = EditorImport.ToRtfImportResult(file, settings);
                    break;
                default:
                    htmlResult = EditorImport.GetTextContent(file);
                    break;
            }

            return Json(new { html = htmlResult });
        }
    }

From this demo:
https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/editor/import-export

In your case, you will access the File statically using something like File.Open().
