I have a requirement to open a Microsoft Word document using Silverlight 3.
The Word document will be populated from a web service. Can anyone please point me in the right direction on how to achieve this? I could also open it as a .pdf if that would be easier. I can’t use any 3rd party tools either, as they have to go through lengthy due diligence process.
Silverlight has really limited access to the end users system. I would recommend making a call to a WCF service to build the file, then send the bytes down to the client. The Silverlight app would then use the
SaveFileDialogto allow the user to save the file to their system.This will not open the file automatically. Is there a specific reason you have to open the file?
