C# HTML5 Viewer: Upload a File to Web Viewer

If you've already created a document viewer in your C# application, you may now upload a file to view and process on the viewer. A simple .NET API can help you to achieve this, which is CreateWebDocFromUpload(HttpRequest request);. By using this API, you can easily create a REWebDocument object that include all information of parsed document.

How to Add File Uploading Feature in Your Viewer

In order to add file uploading feature to your HTML5 document viewer in C# application, you need to use the following code in Default.aspx.

var _tabFile = new ToolbarTab(File);
_tabFile.addCommand(new RECommand(upload));
_viewerTopToolbar.addTab(_tabFile);

In addition, in your Default.aspx.cs, you should add the code below. Here, .NET API CreateWebDocFromUpload(HttpRequest request); is used.

private void RequestServerceHandler()
{
        string command = Request.Form["RECommand"];
        if (command == null || command.Equals(""))
        {
                if (Request.Files.Count > 0)
                LoadFileFromUpload();
        }
}

public void LoadFileFromUpload()
{
        REWebDocument webDoc = REDocumentControl.CreateWebDocFromUpload(Request);
        REDocumentControl.ResponseToClient(webDoc.MsgToClient, Response);
}
