Download Button - File Downloading Cancels Other Operations
Apr 13, 2012
In my project, I've created a download button. This button shall perform 3tasks:
1. Change label text
2. Download file
3. Make the button invisible
The following code changes the label text and make the button invisible:
Code:
Protected Sub btnDownload_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnDownload.Click
lblDownload.Text = "<h3>Thank you for downloading </h3>"
btnDownload.Visible = False
End Sub
When I add a piece of code that handles the file download, the label text is not changed and button remains visible.
Here is the code:
Code:
Protected Sub btnDownload_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnDownload.Click
Dim URL As String = "~/myfile.exe"
Dim fileInfo As FileInfo = New FileInfo(Server.MapPath(URL))
If fileInfo.Exists Then
Response.Clear()
[Code] ....
File downloading cancels other operations.

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 am dynamically generating a file from server based on user input. I need to provide a download button which, upon clicking, downloads a file to the user's file system. Also, the user might click the same button twice, upon which the file should download again.The dynamic generation of file rules out the HttpResponse.TransmitFile() option, which suports mutliple download.Almost every other option I have come across needs Response.End() to be invoked, which prevents a second download.How do I satisfy the 'multiple download" requirement?Read up on Virtual Path providers, which might enable me to use TransmitFile(), but that looks like an overkill for such a simple requirement.

I've created my wonderful winforms app that I want to unleash upon the world, and now I am trying to create a simple website to host some basic information and link to the setup file (msi installer file ).
I have a button on the asp.net page and the setup file setupApp.msi in same folder as the asp.net page. I am currently trying the following:
Response.Redirect("http://./SetupApp.msi");
But this best guess at what to do is not working. Is there something wrong with Mime types here? What do I need to put in the click event to allow users to download this file?

I'm working on an ASP.NET application. Currently when the user clicks "Save" on an item, we disable the Save button, change its text to "Saving..." and so on. This works fine, because the button causes a postback which results in a new page being loaded, on which the Save button is no longer disabled.
We now want to apply this to other actions: Publish (not much different from Save), Import (again, much like Save, but based on data the user has uploaded in a previous step), Export (downloads an XML file to the user) etc.
Export is causing me problems - the button stays disabled. I think this is because the server sends back an XML file rather than a new web page, and so the browser just displays the same page.
The server-side code is along the lines of
Response.Clear();
Response.BufferOutput = true;
Response.ContentType = "text/xml";
Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + whatever);
[push file contents into Response.OutputStream]
Response.End();
a way of making the server send a fresh page back in the response as well as the XML, thus re-enablnig the button in the same manner that the other pages do, ora way of getting the browser/JS to re-enable the button once the file has been sent.

I have a gridview which bind from a database. It populates my data which is Name, Address, Pic, PicLocation. I have a question regarding downloading the Picture/Documents that the user will upload. In my PicLocation column, it contain where the picture is located(where i saved it, like C:Pictures) from the server while in my Pic column it contain where the picture was saved inside my program location (~Pictures).
My question is how can i download the picture that was uploaded by a user? I think I can use the PicLocation here. I am using VB as my language..

I tried this method:
string alteredname = "/store/" + filenames;
string filepath = Server.MapPath(alteredname);
FileInfo file = new FileInfo(filepath);
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "Attachment;FileName:" + file.Name);
Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", file.Length.ToString());
Response.ContentType = "APPLICATION/OCTET-STREAM";
Response.Flush();
Response.TransmitFile(file.FullName);
Response.End();
but the downloaded file is losing extension. I am getting the file in the name of the page form which I am downloading.

I have an ASP.NET page (using ASP.NET AJAX and the Telerik RAD components) that provides a data table and an option to download data in CSV format.I have a requirement that a single button allow the user to download a data set. I have a system set up that's nearly working for me based off the solution in
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/104601/asp-net-response-redirect-to-new-window
<asp:Button ID="ExportCsvButton" runat="server" Text="Download to CSV/Excel"
byte[] csvBytes = someLongOperation();
Session[EXPORTED_SESSION_KEY] = csvBytes;
Response.Redirect("myexportpage.aspx", true);
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Response.Clear();
Response.ClearHeaders();
Response.ClearContent();
Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + "file.csv");
Response.ContentType = "text/csv";
Response.AddHeader("Pragma", "public");
Response.BinaryWrite(Session[OtherPage.EXPORTED_SESSION_KEY] as byte[]);
Response.Flush();
Response.End();
}
This actually works quite well. When I click the 'Export to CSV' button, the page's UpdateProgress kicks in and my loading overlay appears (it's a CSS div that covers the window when visible). This can take some time depending on the data set (potentially several minutes), at which point I'm getting a window popup with my file.

I'm reading the stream from a FileUpload control, reading in chunks of n bytes and writing the array in a loop until I reach the stream's end.Now the reason I do this is because I need to check several things while the upload is still going on (rather than doing a Save(); which does the whole thing in one go). Here's the problem: when doing this from the local machine, I can see the file just fine as it's uploading and its size increases (had to add a Sleep(); clause in the loop to actually get to see the file being written).
However, when I upload the file from a remote machine, I don't get to see it until the the file has completed uploading. Also, I've added another call to write the progress to a text file as the progress is going on, and I get the same thing. Local: the file updates as the upload goes on, remote: the token file only appears after the upload's done (which is somewhat useless since I need it while the upload's still happening).
Is there some sort of security setting in (or ASP.net) that maybe saves files in a temporary location for remote machines as opposed to the local machine and then moves them to the specified destination? I would liken this with ASP.net displaying error messages when browsing from the local machine (even on the public hostname) as opposed to the generic compilation error page/generic exception page that is shown when browsing from a remote machine (and customErrors are not off)

we are working on a file download page. We want to download a file with a name with spaces and accents. Although the filename is shown correctly on the filedownload dialog, when we click open, the file name is shown with %e1%ba%a3n%20... on notepad. ('Save as' shows the correct name) This problem only happens in Internet Explorer.
Is there anyway we can Display the file name correctly (on the target application) after opening it (without saving) from file download dialog ?
We use this code to set the filename :
fileName = Server.UrlPathEncode(fileName);
Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename="" + fileName + """);

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 working on a http based (NOT Secure) Web Application. In this, I have provided a provision to add some appointment to the Client's outlook calendar. I am creating the .vcs file dynamically when clicked on a hyperlink. The code of generating .VCS file is:
string calendarFormat = GetVCSFormat();
Response.ContentType = "text/calendar";
Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=MyCalendar.vcs");
Response.Write(calendarFormat);
Response.End();
It is working fine in all browsers except IE. It is giving me following error:Internet Explorer cannot download GenerateAppointment.aspx from server. Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found.
