Word document open issue

Question

In my application users upload their resumes in Word format. I would like to be able to display these Word documents in a .aspx web page that includes a button to return to the previous page instead of getting the message 'Do you want to open or save this file " and displaying it in a separate Word window.

Response.AddHeader("content-transfer-encoding", "binary")
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=yourfile.doc")
Response.ContentEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(1251)
Response.BinaryWrite(f):

You might want to use iFrames as another option.
There are some other possible solutions too. Hope this helps!
