Loading a DOCX Template From a URL

[brycare]

Hi.
Does anyone know how to load up a DOCX template retrieved via a URL?
My templates are stored in SharePoint so their location will be like http://test/folder/document1.docx

While the template.LoadTemplate works fine if the file path is a directory (such as C:\document1.docx) it throws an error if the doc location is a URL as above.

The error displayed is "URI formats are not supported.".

Anyone know how to get around this issue?
Apologies if this is a basic question as I have only been working with the TxTextControl for a few days and still trying to familiarise myself with its features

Hello there,
TX Text Control will not load a document from an URI, instead, it requires to have a local path or a byte/string array.
I suggest to download the document into a byte array and load it like this:

byte[] temp = null;
// put your document in temp with HttpWebRequest or similar .NET methods
textControl1.Load(temp, TXTextControl.BinaryStreamType.WordprocessingML);
