You can incorporate Aspose.Editor into a web form in an ASP.NET application. This allows creating intranet or enterprise web-based applications with true WYSIWIG word processing capabilities, significantly bringing down deployment and licensing costs.
In the web application scenario, Aspose.Editor consists of two parts:
- The server part is the Aspose.Editor.Server.dll assembly that is an ASP.NET server-side control, responsible for exchanging documents between the client part and your code.
- The client part of the control is the Aspose.Editor.Client.dll assembly that gets automatically downloaded into Internet Explorer on the client machine and runs in the browser. The client communicates with the server purely over HTTP.
The user code on the client (script in the HTML page) can access full Aspose.Editor document object model API, implement custom toolbars, dialogs etc. The user code on the server can implement access to any server-based document repository, such as a file system or database.
To run Aspose.Editor in a browser, the client machine needs:
- Microsoft Internet Explorer
- Microsoft .NET Framework
Microsoft Word is not required in order to use Aspose.Editor.
Dragging Aspose.Editor.Server control from the Toolbox to an ASP.NET form.
A web application built with Aspose.Editor allows true word processing in Internet Explorer.
