Convert word file into HTML in C# 3.5 is not working on server

Nov 19, 2012 12:29 PM|LINK
Hi Guys,

I downloaded the code that convert word file to HTML file. The code is working fine on my local machines but not working on the server.

And I get the error "Exception Details: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: This command is not available because no document is open."

Error in that line :
```
Line 105: wordApplication.ActiveDocument.SaveAs(ref o_newfilename, ref o_format, ref o_nullobject, 
Line 106:                ref o_nullobject, ref o_nullobject, ref o_nullobject, ref o_nullobject, ref o_nullobject, ref o_nullobject,
Line 107:                ref o_nullobject, ref o_nullobject, ref o_encoding, ref o_nullobject,

Please help me out if someone know the solution.
```

I see you are using MSWord Interop. This generally creates more headaches. Honestly, you may be better off using a third-party component that does this instead of having MSWord installed on your web server. I'll look around and see if I can dig up something.

For now, compare your code and processes with what is in this how-to:

For interop to work on the server, you have to install MS Word on the web server.

Hi

Try this...

Document doc = WordApp.Documents.Open(sFromName, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);
doc.SaveAs(sToName,ref fileFormat, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);

One more thing to check out is does your application identity have full control on the machine? I think in order for this to work, the user will need higher level permissions than the IIS User account. Maybe enabling full trust in your web.config might do it. The theory is when you run locally, you are running under your user account with full privileges on your development desktop. When you promote to PROD, you are running under the anonymous web account which has very limited permissions.
