View MS-Office Documents in ASP.NET site (Dynamically)

Question

Goal: Displaying MS-Office documents in my website.

I have been looking at so many "solutions" on the web and could not find one that suits my needs, they are either not good or cost way too much (GroupDocs etc).

The existing answers on SO are just depressing...

I need to show my users documents on the page but not allow them to download them.

The only thing that seemed good and affordable was the Office Web Viewer, as recommended on the Office Blog Page Office Blog - Office Web Viewer, but I guess they took down the app or it's just not working.

I was just wondering whether anyone heard of a solution for that?

Answer 1

If anyone still interested, you can use Doconut viewer or even pay a little more and use DevExpress etc.
