Integrate MS word 2010 in windows form

Question

Hi ,

I want to open word document inside the windows forms on button click. The document should be open inside the windows form not the separately. I am using office 2010 and vs2010. Please tell me how it is possible? I search on net and found the integration with older versions of office and vs. But its not working in office2010 and vs2010. 

 

Thanks in advance....

Hellp Simplyvaibh,

 Here are two approaches to opening word document inside a Winfodws form.
1. Using WebBrowser control to open (but without menubar and toolbar).
        WebBrowser1.Navigate(@"C:\myDocment.doc");

2. Write our own control to use MS-Word in our own application like a windows-form,see to :Word Control for .NET on code project.

Is there a way to embed a Microsoft Word document to a Windows form?

Answer 2

Negative this method does not work it opens the windows form outside the web browser or even a axWebBrowser. The rules have changed in 2010 vs prior to 2007 versions

Answer 3

Hi,

I have the same problem. I need to open a .doc document inside a webbrowser control. The application runs without problem if the Office is different to 2010. It is necessary to find the solution because many computers are migrating to office 2010.

Regards.
