DSOFramer.ocx Hosting word documents in 64 bit Windows Forms

Question

It looks like the DSOFramer.ocx component is not available for download anymore from MSDN as described here. Also the DSOFramer component is a 32 bit component. Given this, i have 2 questions:

1. Is there any other alternative for hosting a word document in a Windows Form apart from using the DSOFramer.ocx component?
2. If i move to Windows 64 bit operating system, and run the windows form as a native 64 bit process, then how do I host the word document in a 64 bit process?

Answer 1

If you compile your application as a 32 bit app, Dsoframer will continue working for you. Go to your Project Properties under Build tab and set Platform Target to x86.
