Got a gridview with links to word files. When click on one link I want to open this word file in another asp.net page called wordFile.aspx. Can I do that?

You sure can. What you need to do is to pass the file name through URL. For security reasons, I recommend that you not include the extension, so if you have worddocument.doc, just pass "worddocument".

You will need to customize your grid, so for the example above, you would need a link to a page like this:

Code:

wordFile.aspx?page=worddocument

On your wordFile.aspx page:

1. Check the passed file name for special characters, to make sure no malicious characters are passed to your page. I recommend only allowing a-z, A-Z, 0-9 characters.
2. Put together the file name (worddocument + . + doc = worddocument.doc).
3. Check for existance of the file in the directory.
4. If file exists, redirect to the file to open it.

That should do it for you. Let me know if you need more detail.
