Using CKEditor and converting the text into a new word doc and save to DB as blob

[mclinton]

We are using CKEditor to edit online resumes and would like to convert the HTML format data to DOC format and save the blob into a database.

Currently we have this

Dim strContent as string
Dim dstDoc As New Document()
Dim builder As New DocumentBuilder(dstDoc)

strContent=ME.CKEditor1.Text

builder.Writeln(strContent)
Dim stream As New MemoryStream()

dstDoc.Save(stream, SaveFormat.Doc)

then add to database

I know that the saved data is a word doc, but treats the HTML from the CKEditor as text and just saves source code of the HTML, not a HTML data converted to a Word Doc.

Thanks,

I got it to work by changing the

builder.Writeln(strContent)

to builder.InsertHTML(strContent)

Now, I want to read the BLOB from database which is in a word doc format and return it as HTML code in a string so I can populate the CKEditor.

Thanks,

So, I think I found my own answer.

Dim filename As String = reader(“FileName”).ToString()

Dim buffer As Byte() = DirectCast(reader(“Content”), Byte())

Dim newStream As New MemoryStream(Buffer)

Dim doc As New Document(newStream)

Dim stream As New MemoryStream()

doc.Save(stream, SaveFormat.Html)

CKEditor1.Text = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(stream.ToArray())

thanks,
