  • If I'm correct you only get this dialog if you have opened a file over webdav, is that the case? The code you're showing, does that run in a web application or in a win/wpf/console app? – rene Feb 24 '16 at 09:22
  • @rene it is running in a web service – mayur manudhanya Feb 24 '16 at 09:34
  • You really shouldn't use office interop from a webservice. You will have tons of problems down the line with memory/resource leaks as well as user interaction issues such as what you are currently running into. – Matthew Whited Feb 24 '16 at 15:47

You should forcibly open the word document as read-only...

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document wordDoc = wordapp.Documents.Open(@"C:\inetpub\wwwroot\WebSite1\temp\random.docx", ReadOnly:true);

See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.office.interop.word.documents.open.aspx for other options that you may find additionally useful (such as not adding file to the recently used list)
