### Examples

`DocumentServer.Web.DocumentViewer.Dispose` belongs to the legacy Web Forms viewer. In the current ASP.NET Core viewer, configure the server-rendered component through `DocumentViewerSettings.DocumentPath`; interactive page state and styling are handled by the viewer client.

```csharp
documentViewerSettings.DocumentPath = @"App_Data\document.docx";
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(documentViewerSettings.DocumentPath))
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Document Path: {documentViewerSettings.DocumentPath}");
}
```

```vbnet
documentViewerSettings.DocumentPath = "App_Data\document.docx"
If Not String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(documentViewerSettings.DocumentPath) Then
    Console.WriteLine($"Document Path: {documentViewerSettings.DocumentPath}")
End If
```
