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 filePath parameter value.

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

Specify the WorkDirectory property to enable the Open and Save As UI commands. Users cannot access the file system outside the specified directory.
