Best Practice: Viewing documents stored on a server in a web application
Hello All,
I currently have Excel/Word/Text files saved on a remote server that I would like to run my web application on. What are best practices for viewing the files as a user of the web application? If possible, I would like to do so without saving the files locally. If anybody could provide help it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the replies. Is there something more that I need to do other than pasting in that C# snippet with the appropriate file path? When I do so nothing happens. No error, but nothing happens at all.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Where are you pasting it?
The snippet was copied from actual working code, but context might matter.

Your solution worked. The issue ended up being with the Update Panel on the page. Thank you.
My pleasure
