I am an ASP.NET Developer. I want to develop a web app which will convert all the files with particular extensions from one format to another(eg : .txt to .docx or .docx to .txt) on the client machine. I can't see anything in ASP.NET that can do these things on the client machine. I was going through other SOPs and googling which was suggesting to use Silverlight, WPF, ActiveX scripts etc.
Please provide your suggestions. Thanks,

So i am starting to learn the Office 365 API's, i have some experience with C# and ASP.net. But now i was wondering is there a way to make website which allows me to edit documents with Word Online and then download them to my server for example.
I know that i can download user files using the Office File API's, but is there a way to integrate the Word Online editor? The base idea is to create a very simple website which will allow me to create/edit files form the backend (admin interface) using the word online editor and then have these files available for download on the frontend.
The question is not about creating something practical so i don't want to use a alternative editor like ckeditor, mostly i want to see if it's possible and if so how can i do it.
I have several input type files in my asp.net Web Form.
How can I upload files to Server using Jquery, AJAX and C#?
The uploaders are generated programmatically so I cannot upload the files using code behind.
Also, many files must be uploaded at once.
Is there anyway I read the file via Jquery, send it via AJAX to server and upload it there?
THanks
Have a look at Fine Uploader. It does not use flash or java. In fact, it does not have any required dependencies. An optional jQuery plug-in is provided, if you use jQuery though.
Support: IE10-7, Chrome, Firefox, Safari (OS X), as well as Android tablets and phones, along with IOS6 tablets and phones (iPhone & iPad). The Microsoft Surface tablet has also been tested.
There are many features to choose from. Have a look at the demos and, more importantly, the docs and associated blog posts for more details.
Furthermore, there are many server-side examples that may be helpful during integration of this library into your app. See the server directory in the Github project. ASP.NET is one of the many examples.
I was volunteered to write a application that will take a mp3 file, upload it to the server create a document that references the file and fills out a template and uploads the document for the web admin to approve it.
I am a fairly competent c# developer but I have never even touched web development stuff. I have no clue where to begin
They are running Joomla 1.5 with DocMan 1.4. I have no php programming experience but I have done java and c# so when I poked around the API documentation some of it seems familiar.
Any point in the right direction for books or online guides would be really appreciated.
Does Joomla have an API or web service you can point to with your app? Maybe you can use the Webclient in .Net and post the file and pertinent information up to the Joomla server.
UPDATE:
I found this XML-RPC lib in .Net. If you have seen this yet, here's a link for Joomla's Metaweblog API.
Could anyone point me in the right direction when it comes to handling Word documents (.docx) on the server using asp.net.
I know I can write to and read the .docx document using the API provided.
But I would like to implement this like SharePoint does it. The user browses the web site, he is logged in, then chooses to make a new Word document in a folder, then the Word document downloads and opens locally. Then I would like the user to be able to save the document back to the server.
Alternatively, is there any good components for reading/writing Word documents in the browser. I have tried using the Telerik editor component without any luck.
First: About Sharepoint & Word: Sharepoint is using a protocol called WebDAV to provide this.
Afaik is WebDAV a standard protocol included with IIS (Install Windows Components). Windows can talk with WebDAV like it's some mounted drive, and therefore Word can handle .doc files that are served from there. To communicate with the WebDAV instance from ASP.NET you can use http://www.independentsoft.de/webdav/index.html.
I guess redirecting the user to the Word doc on the WebDAV server should get it working for the user, but I'm not sure about that. Never actually implemented a WebDAV solution.
Good editor: If you have a small set of users, you should have a look at xstandard, I found that by far the coolest rich text editor available. Yet it works with Java/ActiveX, so your users should install the component at first, but it supports image drag-drop etc. I have never seen a native in-browser editor that gives me a good experience (Telerik came closest 2 years ago).
You can integrate with the Zoho writer api http://writer.zoho.com/home?serviceurl=/index.do
There has been a flurry of updates released to Microsoft's Silverlight over the past couple of months (Silverlight 2 beta 2 runtime + dev tools, RC0 + dev tools which broke beta 2 apps), and recently Microsoft has released the RTM.
I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to integrate Sharepoint 2007 and Silverlight. Many of the sharepoint/silverlight blogs i have read are outdated, meaning that they target SL Beta 2.
So, my question is...
What steps are necessary in order to host a Silverlight 2.0 (RTM) application, in a web part, on Sharepoint Server 2007 ?
I haven't tried this out but
it seems like a good start:
Silverlight Blueprint for SharePoint
This isn't too difficult to do. There are a few steps you need to follow:
Update IIS with the xap mime type.
Put your files some that SharePoint can get them. In our case we developed a feature which deployed the silverlight javascript files and our xap out to folders in the ISAPI folder (%Program Files%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\ISAPI). We created a folder called _xaps to host these files.
Put the Silverlight object code in either the page itself or in a content web part.
[EDIT: For some reason my object code isn't showing up. So here is a link to an example instead]
That's all there is to it. You're probably best off creating a feature to copy of the files and update whatever page you're hosting the control in. But to just stick silverlight in SharePoint the above should work.

If you are going to be using User Controls [i.e. Web Parts], then I'd highly recommend looking at SmartPart. You'll still need to do the things in the blogs above to get the assemblies recognized, trusted, etc, but this may help you get your user controls deployed faster.
