ASPxSpreadsheet.Open(String, DocumentFormat) Method

Opens a document in the specified format from a file system.

Namespace: DevExpress.Web.ASPxSpreadsheet

Assembly: DevExpress.Web.ASPxSpreadsheet.v21.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Web.Office

Declaration

C#

public void Open(
    string pathToDocument,
    DocumentFormat format
)

VB.NET

Public Sub Open(
    pathToDocument As String,
    format As DocumentFormat
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
pathToDocument	String	The path to a document to open.
format	DocumentFormat	The document format.

Remarks

Call this Open method to open a document from the server’s file system. When you open a document for the first time, the control loads it to the server’s memory and generates a DocumentId from the pathToDocument parameter value.

If the document is already open, the method activates the document stored in the server’s memory.

Note

We recommend that you do not use the LoadDocument method to open a document. When you call this method, the ASPxSpreadsheet does not receive information about the opened document and cannot work with it correctly.
