I am building a page that takes a single parameter: documentId. I have
documents stored in a SQL Server 2005 database. Storing and retrieving these
from a WinForms application works fine. No problemo there.
But, when retrieving the docs from my asp.net page, the docs are somehow
corrupted, and I cannot open them using MS Word.
Documents are stored in the "data" field of my Documents table. The "data"
fields is of datatype Image. The documentId parameter is used to select the
right document from the table.
Any ideas? Anything, anyone? Any help appreciated....

Try to save the response as a file to see how many bytes are there.

Try to save the response as a file to see how many bytes are there.
How would I do that? (i just dont know)
Could it be that the files that i am trying to save/retrieve are Word 2007
..docx files (that are really zip files)?
If I try it with a regular (Word 2003) document, it works fine. But not with
..docx files :-(
Any ideas?

Indeed!
Try to remove
Response.AddHea der("Content-Type", "applicatio n/msword")
-------------------------
Response.Clear( )
Response.AddHea der("Content-disposition", "attachment ;
filename=myword .docx")
Response.Binary Write(CType(dr( "data"), Byte()))

Response.AddHea der("Content-Type", "applicatio n/msword")
Same result. :-(

Apologies, I've found an article in MDSN and didn't look what the code
they've suggested ;-) http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/is...s/default.aspx
On the source code page you will find the following
Response.Conten tEncoding = System.Text.Enc oding.UTF8
Response.Conten tType = "applicatio n/vnd.ms-word.document.1 2"
As you have no problem to open the file from WinForms. I think your
problem is in encoding, although maybe "vnd.ms-word.document.1 2" is
also important...
Please try
Here I've covered how to upload files into a SQL Server database and how to
successfully download them again to the client:
It works for Word docs and virtually any other kind of file too. http://SteveOrr.net/articles/EasyUploads.aspx
