Displaying contents of a .doc file

[liunx]

Wondering how I could go about doing this. Shouldn't be hard, I just need to know what object I should be playing with. Using a streamreader I get this garbage:

This is a doc file. 07212005-12-56-23.doc * h7h7h7*

*


1h
/ =!"#$%
@@@ NormalCJ_H
aJmH sH tH DA@D
Default Paragraph FontRi@R
Table Normal4
l4
a (k@(
No List*,0***,,),, ... et cetera.

Which makes sense at the end of the day, since the Reader is indeed converting the file into a string and reading it.

But how can I display the contents? Anyone done this before?Try this article:

<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/wordapplication.aspAlso">http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/worda ... on.aspAlso</a><!-- m --> <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.startvbdotnet.com/files/default.aspx">http://www.startvbdotnet.com/files/default.aspx</a><!-- m -->

Show creating and reading.
