These days I am working on some basic research on Microsoft Office Html Viewer.The Microsoft Office HTML Viewer is a HTML viewer for displaying Office documents in an HTML format.If you don't know what can the Microsoft Office HTML Viewer do for you,Click here for details on Microsoft.
I want to a user of our application can view a document from a document library without having an application capable of displaying the requested document installed on the client computer.You know,Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services provides the Microsoft.HtmlTrans.Interface namespace to do this.So I create a web project to test its function,I want to use some members in Microsoft.HtmlTrans.Interface namespace within my sample project.
First of all,I must declare the namespace. To do this I need to make references to the Microsoft.HtmlTrans.Interface.dll assembly,but it is not in the list of references in Vs.net.Then I look in the GAC and yes,the assembly is regedited in the GAC,but how to make a reference directly from Gac?Seems to impossible
.So i think it is physically stored in some place of my disk.But after a search on my complete disk, the result is nothing.
It seems to be much troubled,But I still believe that it is physically stored in some folder.So I decided to use Reflection to get its information,here is the code:
11.0.0.0__71e9bce111e9429c/microsoft.htmltrans.interface.dll", So I go to the following folder:
C:\windows\assembly\gac\microsoft.htmltrans.interface\11.0.0.0__71e9bce111e9429c\
But the operating system told you that the directory is not exist, Don't worry, you can copy it in Dos mode.
Now copy this dll into a local folder in Dos mode and reference the dll from there in VS.NET.
That's all about it, but I wonder why they do not leave this dll in a physically folder where we can easily find it?
