Robust Word in ASP.NET implementation

[ahaupt]

Hi all,

If Microsoft don't recommend using the Word COM object in ASP.NET. How
should one do it?

At the moment I fire up the COM object and it works ok, but errors do
occur, and its almost impossible to figure out what went wrong.

I noticed that a number of recruitment web site retrieves text from
your Word CV.

Any ideas on how they do this?

I'm pretty sure they won't use the COM object for this.

Best,
Andre

The implementation that you are mentioning is about server side office
automation, it is not recommended, hence not supported by Microsoft. For
more info please read this article:
