adding winwordcontrol.dll to toolbox

I'm trying to add a control to my web form that'll display a Word document
and I read that winwordcontrol.dll will do the trick.

The problem is that I can't find that dll anywhere in my drive. Where can I
find this control?

Thanks.
 
That's the link I got the information from.
But the DLL that I'm supposed to add as reference does not exist in my hard
drive.

Hi VM,

I also have found that:

One asked: "How to use it in a web page?"

The control author answered: "Actually, this should be impossible. If it is
still possible it is a securty hole The solution for this problem is
microsoft backoffice."

So I think it may not be used in your web form.

Hope this helps you.

Hi VM,

Thanks for your feedback.

I have pointed out that this control can not be used on Web Form, so I
think this is not what you need to display word document.

I have added reply in another post of you on how to host office document in
IE, please refer my reply there, if you have any further concern, I will
work with you.

Hi VM,

You can download that dll from that page:
http://www.codeproject.com/cs/miscctrl/winwordcontrol.asp . it's in the
zipped folder that you can find under the "Download test application"
hyperlink.

However, there is an alternative solution for that problem.
You can use the WebBrowser control instead of this winwordcontrol.dll.
Please refer to this howto article for further details on this subject:

If you need further details or have more questions please don't hesitate to
ask.

Hi VM,

I think you should give the webbrowser control a try before you use this
bogus control from codeproject.

Also, there is an ActiveX control written in VC++ from microsoft which is
DsoFramer:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft.com:
80/support/kb/articles/q311/7/65.asp&NoWebContent=1
Which you can use to display office documents _inside_ windows forms, but
first you have to register the control, then add it to your toolbox,
then work with it as the article examples show.
