Question

I have a gridview with coloumns ID, filename, type, date & time and view. There is one fileupload control which uploads the file from computer to some folder named abc. From this folder the filenames are copied to the database table and they are displayed in the gridview. There is one view column in the gridview which when clicked opens the files (.doc, .xlsx,.pptx etc). But these opened files are not not editable. They can just be viewed. My question is, is there any option where I can edit these documents and store back to the same abc folder-> database table -> gridview?

I used Decker’s idea and now my code is working. I used the code below and enabled selected event in gridview

using System.Diagnostics;
using System.ComponentModel;
protected void GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    GridViewRow row = GridView1.SelectedRow;

    string Datalink = row.Cells[2].Text;
    string myPath = @"C:\Users\abc\" + Datalink;
    Process prc = new Process();
    prc.StartInfo.FileName = myPath;
    prc.Start();
}
