Regarding Friendly URLs

[usman-aziz]

This question was originally raised via forum topic: https://forum.groupdocs.com/t/preview-for-large-files-takes-long-time/5889/26

In the ASP.NET WebForms sample application, WEB API is used with Route/friendly URLs. However We don’t have any mechanism for Friendly URLs in current project and it is huge project so we can not include related libraries for WebAPI and FriendlyUrls.

Any alternative solution to avoid this?

To be able to use GroupDocs.Viewer functionality in your project you will need to do the following:

1. Migrate/copy following classes to your project:

• All classes from the “GroupDocs.Viewer-for-.NET-WebForms/src/Products/Common“ folder.
• All classes from the “GroupDocs.Viewer-for-.NET-WebForms/src/Products/Viewer” folder.
• All resources from the “GroupDocs.Viewer-for-.NET-WebForms/src/Resources/” folder.

2. Update configurations:

• Copy code from the “/src/Viewer.aspx” into your web page where you want to integrate the GroupDocs.Viewer.
• Set all these values as you need http://prntscr.com/l4c21t , please pay attention that the “applicationPath” property should be the full URL via which the “ViewerApiController” will be available. For example it can be something like this: http://mysite.com/services/viewDocuments/
• Copy and update configuration sections from the Web.Config: configSections, applicationConfiguration, serverConfiguration, commonConfiguration, viewerConfiguration

Please download this sample application for reference.
