Editing Microsoft Word documents in ASP.Net

Question

Hi,

We are converting legacy VB application to ASP.Net application. We have the several word documents stored in SQL server database. Users should be able to edit the word documents and store it in the database. I am trying to use iFrame whose source would be the word document in the server. Users will have MS word installed on client PC but not on the server. But how can i get the changed file in ASP.Net and store it back on the server.

Please advise me.

Regards, Mugil.

If you want to edit documents in MS Word and store them online, you probably have to write a plugin for Word. A simple and crude solution would be to require the users to save the document locally and then upload it via your website.
You probably want to take a look at Sharepoint.
