asp.net application - View uploaded file instead of downloading

Question

We have a asp.net application which allows users to upload files.

After the file has been uploaded, users get an option to download the file to view it.

We wish to also give a preview link. Clicking this link should open the file in the browser pop-up (Chrome and Firefox).

Users typically upload pdf, common image formats and word documents.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thank You Yash

Do you mean you wish the user to view the document inside the browser instead of downloading it? That is not possible for Word-documents. Only images, PDF and plain text. — Anders Arpi, Jun 16 '14 at 09:28

Based on your requirement, I think you can use Google Docs Viewer.

Sample can be found over here

For more information this is the link of google blog explaining Google Docs Viewer.
