How to retrieve the doc format data from the database?

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I need to retrieve the doc files ( Cv's) from data base to my presentation server. In order to do that what is the field I can use?

You can use officecontrol UI element for displaying doc files.

below are some important links

Hi Suresh,

Correct me if I am wrong, there are two things you are looking for your requirement:

1. Reading the file from server

2. Displaying It.

For 1, you need to provide more information or browse. For eg: resumes and documents are always stored in external server, kind of archived and read at runtime. The fetch depends on the kind of setup you have.

For 2, office control as mentioned is a good solution. If not, you can also use a file download UI element.

Hi Santosh,

Exactly I need the below 2 requirements only .

1. Reading the file from server

2. Displaying It.

But I am facing the problem while retrieving the file ( CV ) from the database and upload the same in to the data base.

Can u just explain clearly that for which field I can use ( i.e) XSTRING or any ?

If possible pls provide one ex.
