If I understand your wording correctly, you're looking to read an Open Office Writer file using C# and ASP.NET
If so, I'd suggest you read up on the file structure: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDocument_technical_specification
Here is a more complete specification http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/12572/OpenDocument-v1.0-os.pdf
And here is a free book on the matter http://books.evc-cit.info/
If you're just looking to extract textual data from a writer document, then it's just an XML file in a ZIP container, so presumably you'd just want to get the content from a specific tag and flatten it, stripping the styling tags from within it.
