Show files as content in a ASPXpage

[idrisgani]

I am trying to show files like excel/doc in a frame in the same page. E.g when i click on the file it should show the file content in left pane. I could able to show files like Image/PDF using IFRAME, but when i try to show files like Excel/doc. It's not showing the file content instead it is prompting with download options(OPEN/SAVE/CANCEL). I am using IE 8.0.

Is there any user control to show/Open the files and display the same in a frame/panel?

Please advise me.

Thanks in Advance.

It is dependent on the browser of the person watching it.
If you want to display it, you'll have to turn the content into a web page.

It may be possible , but I would actually also advise against it, as that is overriding how things should work normally.

You could use VBScript, to open the file, then write the contents of that file to your page. Have a look here :
