Search NuGet for WebDAV clients and servers.

There's also Google.

According to the description, are you trying to edit word documents online?

If so, you can find many related records online, try Open/Edit a word document on a web page or open and Edit a Word document Online.

Or if i misunderstood the requirement, please feel free to tell.

Hello Yang Shen,

Yes, we are trying to edit word document online. Currently we are using active X and it is working as expected. 

the links provide the same solution (Active x)and can be used only in internet explorer. We are trying implement the same in edge and chrome browser where active x is not supported.

we are not looking for 3rd party tools

Thanks & Regards

Hi Ganesh Uchil,

we are not looking for 3rd party tools

active x is not supported.

This could be really complex to meet the requirement with pure c# and js code.

The whole process should be like below:

First, read the word document content with full text format to your web page;

Then, edit the content in your web page with text format which is available in MS Word;

last, save the final content back to yout word document.

You can refer to Word to HTML Converter using ASP.Net 2.0 and Microsoft 11.0 object Library and Dynamically generate a MS Word document using HTML & CSS.

Best Regard,
