Generating A File To Download
Mar 3, 2010
I have a file that I need to copy, run a command against the copy that specializes it for the person downloading it, and then provide that copy to a user to download. I'm using ASP.Net MVC2, and I've never done anything like this. I've searched around for the simplest way to do it, but I haven't found much, so I've come up with a plan.
I think what I'll do is generate a guid, which will become the name of a folder I'll generate at the same level of the source file that the copy is made from. I'll then copy the file to that folder, run my command against it, provide a link to the file, and I'll have some service that runs every now and then that deletes directories that are more than a day old.

I have very similar problem as this: Allowing users to download files - ASP.NET , but in my case I am generating xlsx file with ajax, and on ajax-called aspx page I am using:
[code]....
When this file is generated, control is returned to ajax calling page and from there I wan't to show save file dialog based on this ajax response and allow user to download this generated file. I don't want to save file on disk with ajax called page and then redirect ajax calling page to that file, because of popup blocker in IE. I am using jquery for ajax calls:

I'm about to submit my pad file to multiple sharware sites but the pad file has to have a direct link to the download file and can't link to a download page which is what I would like to do, so I can track the traffic and get the downloader's email before allowing the download. I am running an ASP.NET site in VB. Is there a way to tell the web app to redirect to a specific aspx page when it receives a request for a specific file?

I am downloading file from database using the following code. This code downloads an excel file from the database which has a macro attached to it when it is opened. This macro reads file name of the excel file and uses it for its computation. Everthing works file if user saves the file on his harddisk and then open if but if he directly opens the file from the dialog(by hitting 'Open' button) then file name of the opened excel file comes out be the name of the webform that has the above code and this leads to error in the macro. Is there any option through which i can control the name of the file if user directly opens the file from dialog or the option to disable or remove 'Open' button form the dialog?

Are there any good PHP libraries for exporting data to Excel files (not CSV files)?
(An alternative would be creating an ASP.NET Web service that handles Excel file generation, but I would rather not send complex objects over a network in XML format, unless it were strictly necessary.)

I need to be able to generate a basic CSV file of the results returned from an SqlDataSource/GridView upon the user clicking a button, then allow them to save this file.
Is this simple to do?

I have a client that is looking for a photogallery in flash, they already have one in mind they found. Since the site will be maintained by them, i was wondering if there is a way to generate an XML file via a button click so when they are logged into the admin console, they can update the XML with a simple click and it updates the gallery.
I will be giving them the ability to upload images to the site as well as deleting and updating existing images, so once they have done all that, they can click a button and that takes all the new updated images in the directory and generates a new XML file for the flash file to use.
Or is there another gallery i can use to give them the same look? This is the gallery they found and like: [URL]

I currently have a page which displays a report of multiple tables with the data values in them based on two parameters selected in dropdowns.
Now, I need to generate the same report for each combination of the two parameters as a worksheet in an Excel workbook to be sent as an email attachment. This is to be automatically generated daily, and I'm using the Global.asax to do this task at 1 day intervals. So each sheet will display multiple tables, one below the next, just like they display on the web page where the user can go to view them on demand.
I've seen plenty of resources for exporting a gridview to Excel, where a user clicks and is prompted to download an Excel file, but this is different.

In our application, we allow user to upload documents which can be PDF, Doc, XLS, TXT. Uploaded documents will be saved on web server. We need to display link for each document user uploaded and when user click on that link, it should open relevant document. it is expected to have required software to open relevant documents.
To upload document, we use saveAs method of FileUpload control and it works absolutely fine.Now, how to view it?I believe, i need to copy/download file to local user machine and need to open it using Process.Start.For that i need to find user local temp directory. if i put path.GetTempPath(), it gives me web server directory and copy file there.
File.Copy(
sPath + dataReader["url"].ToString(),
Path.GetTempPath() + dataReader["url"].ToString(),
true);

I have made an application where I am displaying the .pdf , .doc , .docx files. These files are uploading from an Admin Panel.When user place a mouse pointer on download icon provided in front of every file, it shows the complete path where it’s get saved.I want to avoid this path visibility even when user place mouse on download icon and even if it Inspect an element (as most modern browser will have this functionality).

I have a simple 'file download' generic handler which sets the response contenttype and headers before sending the file through the same response.
I also have Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.server) set in the global.asax.
As I have noticed from various sources, Internet Explorer doesn't like this no-cache setting and gives an error when trying to download the file (requested site unavailable or cannot be found).
I thought maybe I could override this setting in the .ashx page, so I alter the response's cacheability setting to public. This did not solve the issue. removing the line from global.asax does solve the problem but obviously affects the whole site.
Is there a way of setting the cachability just for my generic handler?

In an ASP.NET WebForms 2.0 site we are encountering an intermittent bug in IE6 whereby a file download attempt results in the contents of the being shown directly in the browser as text, rather than the file save dialog being displayed. Our application allows the user to download both PDF and CSV files. The code we're using is:
HttpResponse response = HttpContext.Current.Response;
response.Clear();
response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename="theFilename.pdf"");
response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
response.BinaryWrite(MethodThatReturnsFileContents());
response.End();
This is called from the code-behind click event handler of a button server control. Where are we going wrong with this approach? Edit Following James' answer to this posting, the code I'm using now looks like this:
HttpResponse response = HttpContext.Current.Response;
response.ClearHeaders();
// Setting cache to NoCache was recommended, but doing so results in a security
// warning in IE6
//response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename="theFilename.pdf"");
response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
response.BinaryWrite(MethodThatReturnsFileContents());
response.Flush();
response.End();
However, I don't believe that any of the changes made will fix the issue.
