Render Word Document in MVC Razor View

[Ted]

Hi,

the Scenario goes as follows - user fills out a form and submits it. The data from the form is merged with a word document template. I want to show the user the completed document. 

here is code snippet  -> return new Result { CoverSheet = memoryStream.ToArray() };

I'm stuck on how to view the document here is my razorview:

I'm stuck on how to render the coversheet. I have tried TelerikReporting and am currently looking at @(Html.Kendo().Editor()...

I see examples for how to use Import to open a word document but now how to create a view with existing data. Any help with how to proceed would be appreciated.

Hello Ted,

Instead of returning the Word document as a file/stream you can convert that Word file to HTML on the server and send it to the view to be rendered. For that, you can check out the RadWordsProcessing's DocxFormatProvider and HtmlFormatProvider to accomplish conversion from Word documents to HTML. 

By returning HTML, you can render the result in any HTML container you need or directly set that to the Value() method of the Kendo Editor or use the generated output to return the HTML as view or partial view (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7682031/asp-net-mvc3-return-raw-html-to-view).
