Hi all,

I am using following code to display word file in text box

Dim wordApp As New Word.ApplicationClass()

      
        Dim nullobj As Object = System.Reflection.Missing.Value

        Dim doc As Word.Document = wordApp.Documents.Open(Session("resumepath"))

        Dim doc1 As Word.Document = wordApp.ActiveDocument

        Dim m_Content As String = doc1.Content.Text

        txtresume.Text = m_Content

        txtresume.Text = doc1.Content.Text

        doc.Close()

        wordApp.Quit()
 

But , the problem is ,even the bold contents in the word file appear as normal text in text box . I want the content in the word file to appear as it is in text box . how can i do this ???...

( I have set the READONLY property of textbox as true so the textbox doesn't appear purely white ...how to avoid this also ?) 

Thanks...

It's not possible to apply style to text in a normal textbox , -Of course it is possuble to apply style to your textbox for example make all text blod -  but if you need a more flexible Text editor you can try so called "WYSIWYG" editors. some of them are available on the net for free : for example take a look at this one : http://freetextbox.com/
