How can I embed images in an ASP.NET Generated Word File
- by Nikos Steiakakis
Hi everyone!
I have a quite common problem, as I saw in the various user groups but could not find a suitable answer.
What I want to do is generate an ASP.NET page in my website which will have the option of being exported into Microsoft Word .doc format.
The method I have used is this:
Response.Clear();
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=Test.doc");
Response.Charset = "";
Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
Response.ContentType = "application/msword";
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
HtmlTextWriter htmlWrite = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);
Page.RenderControl(htmlWrite);
Response.Write(sw.ToString());
Response.End();
However this eventhough it generates a word doc, the images are note embedded in the document, rather they are placed as links. I have looked for a way to do this, but have not found something that actually worked.
I would appreciate any help I can get, since this as "last minute" requirement
(talk about typical)
Thanks
