I am using Visual Studio.Net 2003
I know how to get a word document using a HyperLink on a web form. I am using form.aspx and form.aspx.vb. Peice of cake to get the word document I want

But how can I retrieve a word document with form.htm or form.html
The <LI> thingie works ok, but the visual presentation is lost. Does HTML have something similar to a hyperlink where I can pull in the formatting and graphics

I tried to use: (I hope you can read this in HTML format
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"><HTML><script language="VB" runat="server"


dim fs as new FileStream(Server.MapPath("Experience.doc"), FileMode.OpenorCreate
dim objReader as new StreamReader(fs
while objReader.Peek() > -
Response.Write(objReader.ReadLine & "<br>"
end whil
objReader.clos
fs.clos

It doesn't work. I don't know what I am doing..
I am a newbie, what can I say. I scoured the Internet. I poured through ASP.Net in 21 days.
I'm lost and adrift...

H-E-L-P !!


</script><body><form runat="server" method="get"><asp:label id="lblMessage" runat="server" /></form></body></HTML>
 
I'm not entirely sure what your trying to do - but it looks like your after
some coide to stream a word doc to the client following a form submission.
Apologies if I'm wrong, if not the example below might help you out.

I have a word document (more or less my resume) I want the visitors to my web page to view, to see my experience and work history, and major accomplishments. I just want them to be able to pull it up with read only access. (I can handle the read only access issue.

I tried to run the script you referred me to. It wouldn't run. I think the problem has to do with the
<%@ Import Namespace="System.IO" %
I think i would have to create a dll, or something. Please keep in mind my only basis for refernece is what I read in ASP.Net in 21 days

Isn't there a cleaner way
 
Would you be adverse to creating an HTML version of your resume? Word
can do a "Save As" to HTML. Then you could just put that page up with
a link to it. It should keep most or all of the formatting when you do
this, unless you have a very old version of Word :)
 
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

You are my god!

Please step away from your chair, and take many, many bows!! (Don't want you to bump your head.

My heart-felt thanks..
