I have followed instructions here:
and here:
and here:
I have downloaded the following github projects:
I have read all the documentation at:
and all of the relevant sections below.
And also here:
and all of the relevant sections below.
I have still not found a way to return a document from my controller:
I started by using my normal method for Blob Storage using the nuget package and then gave up and started to use your recommendation and use WebClient():
The document is open to public so you should be able to download:
WebClient client = new WebClient();
byte[] doc = client.DownloadData("https://nuagecaretest.blob.core.windows.net/tranby/NcEntities/MrBernardBroadhurst-e9d61251-682f-439c-64bb-08d7515abf74/Care%20plan1.docx");
Stream stream = new MemoryStream(doc);
stream.Position = 0;
try
{
var document = Syncfusion.EJ2.DocumentEditor.WordDocument.Load(stream, GetFormatType(fileNameAndLocation));
string json = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(document);
document.Dispose();
stream.Dispose();
return json;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw;
}
I have tried the following also:
WebClient client = new WebClient();
byte[] doc = client.DownloadData("https://nuagecaretest.blob.core.windows.net/tranby/NcEntities/MrBernardBroadhurst-e9d61251-682f-439c-64bb-08d7515abf74/Care%20plan1.docx");
Stream stream = new MemoryStream(doc);
stream.Position = 0;
try
{
string sfdt = ConvertDocument(stream, GetFormatType(fileNameAndLocation));
stream.Dispose();
return sfdt;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw;
}
Both of these throw an object not found error, here is the stack trace:

I have also tried the following with the standard nuget package:
MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream();
await blob.DownloadToStreamAsync(memoryStream);
WordDocument document = WordProcessor.WordDocument.Load(memoryStream, WordProcessor.FormatType.Docx);
var sfdtString = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(document);
document.Dispose();
memoryStream.Dispose();
return new HttpResponseMessage() { Content = new StringContent(sfdtString) };
But that doesn't work either.
I have spent two whole days on this problem on top of the original problem of trying to open a document from the syncfusion file explorer.
It's very furstrating trying to work with C# samples that don't work and angular samples which use structures not created by angular cli.
Can you please help me.
The use case remains the same, open a document from syncfusion file explorer, get it from blob storage and return it to an angular front end ready for editing (I presume this will mean a conversion to sfdt along the way but I simply haven't got that far.
