RadGrid Open Word

[Robert]

I was wondering if there was an example of a RadGrid w/ a link that opens up a word document.

Thanks for the help.

Hi Robert,

I hope you are trying to open a word document on clicking a linkbutton in a Grid. If so try setting the CommandName for the GridButtonColumn and then in the ItemCommand Event you can write the code to open the word document. Here is a sample code which I tried. You may alter the logic accordingly.

ASPX:

<telerik:GridButtonColumn CommandName="File" DataTextField="FileName" HeaderText="ButtonColumn"  ></telerik:GridButtonColumn>

CS:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object source, Telerik.Web.UI.GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {

     if (e.CommandName == "File")
      {
        string filename = e.CommandSource.ToString();

                // get the file path
                string path;

                //checking whether file is exist in hard drive
                ShowFile(filename, path);

      }

    }

  private void ShowFile(string filename, string path)
        {
            if (File.Exists(path))
            {
                //Response.ContentType = "application/ms-word";
                Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + filename);

                FileStream sourceFile = new FileStream(path, FileMode.Open);
                long FileSize;
                FileSize = sourceFile.Length;
                byte[] getContent = new byte[(int)FileSize];
                sourceFile.Read(getContent, 0, (int)sourceFile.Length);
                sourceFile.Close();
                Response.BinaryWrite(getContent);
            }

        }

Thanks

I got the error: Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerParserErrorException...

I'm also using Masterpages.  The fix was:

 

<telerik:RadCodeBlock ID="RadCodeBlock1" runat="server">

 

 

<script type="text/javascript">

 

 

function mngRequestStarted(ajaxManager, eventArgs) {

 

 

if (eventArgs.EventTarget.indexOf("btnItemName") != -1) {

 

eventArgs.EnableAjax =

false;

 

}

}

 

</script>

 

 

</telerik:RadCodeBlock>

Thanks so much for your quick response.
