UPLOADING AND DOWNLOADING WORD FILES USING ASP.NET
To create this kind of application first you need to create
a data base for storing the word files.
STEP-1:- First create a data base and then create a table
name it as “WordFiles” which have following fields.
I set the Id column as primary key and auto generate, you
can also create as you like. Here name column is for File name, type column is
for type of the file and data column is for store the actual content of the
file which data type is binary because the contents of the file are stored is
bytes.
STEP-2:- Now go to Visual Studio and add a website name it
as u like then add a web form name it as “Upload and Download Word Files.aspx”
and design the page as like bellow .
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#996633">
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div align="center">
<table>
<tr>
<td>
Select File
</td>
<td>
<asp:FileUpload ID="FileUpload1"
runat="server"
ToolTip="Select
Only word File" />
</td>
<td>
<asp:Button ID="Button1"
runat="server"
Text="Upload"
OnClick="Button1_Click"
/>
</td>
<td>
<asp:Button ID="Button2"
runat="server"
Text="View
Files" OnClick="Button2_Click" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<p>
<asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text=""></asp:Label>
</p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1"
runat="server"
Caption="All Word
Document Files " CaptionAlign="Top"
HorizontalAlign="Justify"
DataKeyNames="id" OnSelectedIndexChanged="GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged"
ToolTip="Word FIle
DownLoad Tool" CellPadding="4" BackColor="White" BorderColor="#CC9966"
BorderStyle="None"
BorderWidth="1px">
<RowStyle BackColor="White"
ForeColor="#330099"
/>
<Columns>
<asp:CommandField ShowSelectButton="True"
SelectText="Download"
ControlStyle- ForeColor="Blue">
<ControlStyle
ForeColor="Red"></ControlStyle>
</asp:CommandField>
</Columns>
<FooterStyle BackColor="#FFFFCC"
ForeColor="#330099"
/>
<PagerStyle ForeColor="#330099"
HorizontalAlign="Center"
BackColor="#FFFFCC"
/>
<SelectedRowStyle
BackColor="#FFCC66"
Font-Bold="True"
ForeColor="#663399"
/>
<HeaderStyle BackColor="#990000"
Font-Bold="True"
ForeColor="#FFFFCC"
/>
<SortedAscendingCellStyle
BackColor="#FEFCEB"
/>
<SortedAscendingHeaderStyle
BackColor="#AF0101"
/>
<SortedDescendingCellStyle
BackColor="#F6F0C0"
/>
<SortedDescendingHeaderStyle
BackColor="#7E0000"
/>
</asp:GridView>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
STEP-3:- Now double click on the Upload button and write the
following code.
protected void
Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Label2.Visible = true;
string filePath = FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName;// getting the file path of uploaded file
string filename1 = Path.GetFileName(filePath);// getting the file name of uploaded file
string ext = Path.GetExtension(filename1);// getting the file extension of uploaded file
string type = String.Empty;
if (!FileUpload1.HasFile)
{
Label2.Text = "Please Select File";
//if file uploader has no file selected
}
else
if (FileUpload1.HasFile)
{
try
{
switch (ext) //
this switch code validate the files which allow to upload only word file
{
case ".doc":
type = "application/word";
break;
case ".docx":
type = "application/word";
break;
}
if (type != String.Empty)
{
SqlConnection
cn = new SqlConnection("server=AJIT;database=Demo;uid=sa;pwd=123");
Stream fs = FileUpload1.PostedFile.InputStream;
BinaryReader br = new BinaryReader(fs);
//reads the
binary files
Byte[] bytes = br.ReadBytes((Int32)fs.Length); //counting the file
length into bytes
cn.Open();
SqlCommand com = new SqlCommand("insert
into wordFiles (Name,type,data)" + "
values (@Name, @type, @Data)", cn); //insert
query
com.Parameters.Add("@Name", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value
= filename1;
com.Parameters.Add("@type", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value
= type;
com.Parameters.Add("@Data", SqlDbType.Binary).Value
= bytes;
com.ExecuteNonQuery();
Label2.ForeColor =
System.Drawing.Color.Green;
Label2.Text = " Word File Uploaded Successfully";
}
else
{
Label2.ForeColor =
System.Drawing.Color.Red;
Label2.Text = "Select Only word Files "; // if file is other than speified extension
}
}
catch (Exception
ex)
{
Label2.Text = "Error: " +
ex.Message.ToString();
}
}
}
STEP-4:- Now double click on the “View Files” button and
write the following code
protected void
Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SqlConnection cn = new
SqlConnection("server=AJIT;database=Demo;uid=sa;pwd=123");
SqlDataAdapter da = new
SqlDataAdapter("Select
*from WordFiles", cn);
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
da.Fill(ds);
GridView1.DataSource = ds;
GridView1.DataBind();
cn.Close();
}
STEP-5:- Now write the following code in GridView selected index changed event of the gridview
protected void
GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SqlConnection cn = new
SqlConnection("server=AJIT;database=Demo;uid=sa;pwd=123");
cn.Open();
SqlCommand com = new
SqlCommand("select
Name,type,data from WordFiles where
id=@id", cn);
com.Parameters.AddWithValue("id",
GridView1.SelectedRow.Cells[1].Text);
SqlDataReader dr = com.ExecuteReader();
if (dr.Read())
{
Response.Clear();
Response.Buffer = true;
Response.ContentType = dr["type"].ToString();
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename="
+ dr["Name"].ToString()); // to open file
prompt Box open or Save file
Response.Charset = "";
Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
Response.BinaryWrite((byte[])dr["data"]);
Response.End();
}
}
After write all the code now run the page it will look like
bellow.
