Open Word,Excel & PDF

[Prabha]

Hi All,

I have to convert a varbinary data into selected (it may be word/excel/PDF)  document type and show the content in browser itself. May i know which control in Rad will be use for this requirement?

Hi Prabha,

You could simply bind your data or a RadGrid control and use it visualize the data in browser. The RadGrid control also provides export functionality to all mentioned formats. See the examples below:

hai Maria ,

Thank you for your reply. But actually what i need is , i will redirect a page from another page. In that i will pass a querystring(ID). when the page open that it will retrieve the data(file content, file type, filename)  from backend(filecontent  in "Varbinary" format  ) and have to show that file in side any control like iframe(it may be work or excel or pdf).

Hi Prabha,

What you are trying to achieve is not possible. The reason is that varbinary data type can store anything and in this case you need to manually cover the data and use the RadControls only to visualize the content.
