You may use:

Dim filePath As String = "C:\Attachments\fileName.xls" -- any file format

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(filePath)

You can try a third party library called "Doconut", here is a demo which actually shows a resume DOC opened in an asp.net website, similar to your requirements http://try.doconut.com/Ribbon.aspx This could help anyone else having similar requirements.

I am sure you can find much on this topic via Google as this is a consistently recurring topic . Here are a few options:

  1. Opening/Editing of Word Documents via ActiveX Controls - Word/Excel ActiveX Controls in ASP.NET

  2. Via Office Object Model (basically a wrapper around COM Objects) - Automating Applications Using the Office Object Model

  3. Via 3rd Party Libraries e.g. NetOffice (netoffice.codeplex.com)

Uploading document must have specific path.So try:

Dim objFile as System.IO.File
Dim sReader as System.IO.StreamReader
sReader = objFile.OpenText(“YourUploadedFilePAth”)
