By ".docs" I believe you meant to say ".docx", right?
Anyway the problem is that currently browsers cannot render the words documents so you'll have to convert your file's content into a format that a browsers can render.
For example HTML or maybe PDF (because all modern browsers are capable of rendering them) or maybe an image file (so you would get a preview document effect).
Now there are few libraries capable of doing this for you, I'm familiar with
this C# library for word documents
. It can
process (both open and convert) the .doc files in C#
but also it can
manipulate with .docx files in C#
as well in the same manner.
What you would need to do is just
open your Word file with C#
and then do a
straightforward conversion of that Word file into a HTML content in .NET
and then just write out that HTML content to response's output stream.
I hope this helps.
