How do I use the Microsoft Word object in ASP.NET?

[emoseley]

I have used VB.NET to create a Microsoft Word object and write to a document in the past. Now I am trying to do this from an ASP.NET project. Everything compiles correctly, but when I view the page in a web browser I get an error saying that the Word object could not be created. Does anyone know of a setting that must be changed to make this work in ASP rather than VB?

Hi,

Without seeing the code it's hard to say. Post it up and the error message and we should be able to help you along. Theres a pretty good article on creating word documents in asp.net on codeproject.com:

Good luck;

One problem I have run into is security issues when trying to programmatically access Office documents through shared hosting. In general, I think shared hosting security prohibits this kind of activity.
