Read Write Edit Word Document In ASP.NET

In this article i am explaining how to Read Write Edit Word Document With FileStream StreamWriter In ASP.NET. For this i've added a textbox for input text to be written in word document and a button to write, same for reading text from word file.

The word file created is saved in a folder named document in root of application. which can be changed to desired location.

html source of the page look like

<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server">
</asp:TextBox>
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" 
                         onclick="Button1_Click" 
                         Text="Click to write to word" />
<br />
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server">
</asp:TextBox>
<asp:Button ID="Button2" runat="server" 
                         onclick="Button2_Click" 
                         Text="Read Word Document" />
</div>
</form>

To use Filestream and stringBuilder we need to add these namespace

using System.IO;
using System.Text;

C# code behind

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //Create stringBuilder to write formatted 
    //Text to word file
 StringBuilder strBuilder = new StringBuilder();
 strBuilder.Append("<h1 title='Header' align='Center'>
     Writing To Word Using ASP.NET</h1> ".ToString());

 strBuilder.Append("<br>".ToString());
 strBuilder.Append("<table align='Center'>".ToString());
 strBuilder.Append("<tr>".ToString());

 strBuilder.Append("<td style='width:100px;color:green'>
                          <b>amiT</b></td>".ToString());

 strBuilder.Append("<td style='width:100px;color:red'>
                              India</td>".ToString());
 strBuilder.Append("</tr>".ToString());
 strBuilder.Append("</table>".ToString());

 string strPath = Request.PhysicalApplicationPath
                         + "\\document\\Test.doc";

 //string strTextToWrite = TextBox1.Text;
 FileStream fStream = File.Create(strPath);
 fStream.Close();
 StreamWriter sWriter = new StreamWriter(strPath);
 Writer.Write(strBuilder);
 sWriter.Close(); 

}
protected void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
 string strPath = Request.PhysicalApplicationPath 
                  + "\\document\\Test.doc";
 FileStream fStream = new FileStream
            (strPath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
 StreamReader sReader = new StreamReader(fStream);
 TextBox2.Text = sReader.ReadToEnd();
 sReader.Close();
Response.Write(TextBox2.Text);
}

VB.NET code

Protected Sub Button1_Click
(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Dim strBuilder As New StringBuilder()
strBuilder.Append("<h1 title='Header' align='Center'>
     Writing To Word Using ASP.NET</h1> ".ToString())
strBuilder.Append("<br>".ToString())
strBuilder.Append("<table align='Center'>".ToString())
strBuilder.Append("<tr>".ToString())

strBuilder.Append("<td style='width:100px;color:green'>
                           <b>amiT</b></td>".ToString())
strBuilder.Append("<td style='width:100px;color:red'>
                               India</td>".ToString())
strBuilder.Append("</tr>".ToString())
strBuilder.Append("</table>".ToString())
'string path = @"C:\Test.doc";

Dim strPath As String = 
Request.PhysicalApplicationPath & "\document\Test.doc"
    
'string strTextToWrite = TextBox1.Text;
Dim fStream As FileStream = File.Create(strPath)
fStream.Close()
Dim sWriter As New StreamWriter(strPath)
sWriter.Write(strBuilder)
      
sWriter.Close()
End Sub

Protected Sub Button2_Click
(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Dim strPath As String = 
Request.PhysicalApplicationPath & "\document\Test.doc"

Dim fStream As New FileStream
(strPath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)
Dim sReader As New StreamReader(fStream)
TextBox2.Text = sReader.ReadToEnd()
sReader.Close()
Response.Write(TextBox2.Text)
End Sub

Configuring LDAP in Sitefinity 4.4 in Telerik Sitefinity

  Configuring LDAP in Sitefinity 4.4

Windows Active Directory is a directory service created by Microsoft. Active Directory uses a number of standardized protocols to provide a variety of network service, including LDAP. LDAP is Lightweight Directory Access Protocol for accessing directories over an IP network.

You configure LDAP settings in the following way:

1. In the main menu, click Administration » Settings.
2. The Basic Settings page appears.
3. Click, Advanced link.
4. The Settings page appears.
5. Expand Security node in the left of the page.
6. Click LDAP Settings à LDAP Connections.

A list of all configured connections appears. You can edit an existing connection by clicking it or you can create a new connection by clicking Create new button.

Configure the following properties:

                                                                                                                                                            

Note : All the Fields values may be change according to your LDAP Servers setting.

Name	The name of the connection is used for distinguishing LDAP connections in Sitefinity. It should be IP Address of the server where LDAP directory is hosted (Not the machine name / Server Name).
ServerName	Enter the name of the server where LDAP is hosted.
Port	Enter the LDAP server port. The default port is 389.
ConnectionDomain	Enter the domain of the LDAP server.
ConnectionUsername	Enter the username for logging to the LDAP server.
ConnectionPassword	Enter the password for logging to the LDAP server.
UseSsl	Indicates whether the connection use SSL or not
ResultCacheExpirationTime	Enter the seconds, for which the system caches the LDAP server response results.
MaxReturnedUsers	Enter the maximum number of users that is returned on one request to the LDAP. This number is used for internal paging of results, in order to avoid overconsumption of memory and slow retrieval of big chunks of data.
UserDns	Enter the base/root distinguished name (DN) for the users.
UserFilter	Enter the filter that is applied when requesting users from the LDAP. You must use the standard LDAP query syntax.
MaxReturnedRoles	Enter the maximum number of roles that is returned on one request to the LDAP. This number is used for internal paging of results, in order to avoid overconsumption of memory  and slow retrieval of big chunks of data.
RolesDNs	Enter the base/root distinguished name (DN) for the roles.
RolesFilter	Enter the filter applied when requesting users from the LDAP. You must use the standard LDAP query syntax.
ConnectWithLogOnCredentials	Indicates whether to use current user credentials or those entered above. If you select this checkbox, the LDAP is connected and browsed with the credentials that the user provides on logging into Sitefinity backend and you do not have to enter user and password into the LDAP configuration.
AuthenticationType	Enter one of the following: ·         Basic Indicates that basic authentication will be used with the connection. ·         NTLM

7. When you are finished with the configurations, click Save changes.
8. To select which is the default LDAP connection to be used, click LDAP Settings and enter the name of the connection in DefaultLdapConnection input field and click Save changes button.

When you successfully saved all these settings restart the Sitefinity server and again run the CMS project and check whether the LDAP users and LDAP roles are showing or not in the Users and Roles section of Administration menu.
