Perhaps there's a better way, but here is what I did quickly to get an Aspose Word document down to a browser. In the controller class use a MemoryStream to feed a FileStreamResult.
//Controller
public ActionResult MergeAndDownload(Choice choice) {
MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream();
Document document = ... // get your Aspose document
document.Save(memoryStream, SaveFormat.Docx);
memoryStream.Position = 0;
var fileStreamResult = new FileStreamResult(memoryStream, "application/ms-word");
fileStreamResult.FileDownloadName = "MySuggestedFilename.docx";
return fileStreamResult;
}
In the View just do a Model.Save()
//View
<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Site.Master" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<Aspose.Words.Document>" %>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" runat=server ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent">
<%@ Import Namespace="Aspose.Words" %>
<%
Response.setContentType("application/msword");
Model.Save(Response.OutputStream, SaveFormat.WordML); %>
</asp:Content>
If you know a simpler way, please post in comments.
