I have some files stored in a directory on the server application. Actually, this folder is inside my app’s folder.

Is there a way to preview these files (most of then xls, docs and pdfs) using a component or a custom control ?

    Probably the easiest way is to use Google Docs Viewer.

    Basically you call the viewer URL and pass the full qualified public URL to a document on your server and the Google Docs Viewer will render your document to HTML.

    The documentation states that they support the following document types:

    • Microsoft Word (.DOC and .DOCX)
    • Microsoft Excel (.XLS and .XLSX)
    • Microsoft PowerPoint (.PPT and .PPTX)
    • Adobe Portable Document Format (.PDF)
    • Apple Pages (.PAGES)
    • Adobe Illustrator (.AI)
    • Adobe Photoshop (.PSD)
    • Tagged Image File Format (.TIFF)
    • Autodesk AutoCad (.DXF)
    • Scalable Vector Graphics (.SVG)
    • PostScript (.EPS, .PS)
    • TrueType (.TTF)
    • XML Paper Specification (.XPS)
    • Archive file types (.ZIP and .RAR)
