I have a link on my page that when clicked...all I want to do is download a file to the users computer. They don't even need to be able to select a file because their will only be 1 file. How can I do this to where the only thing that pops up is where to save the file?
View 3 RepliesI have VB code that parses XML data from a webpage. Up until 2 days ago the XML data could be viewed right on the page and I could just grab the HTML source code to get the information. Now they have changed the page to a link button to download the XML file.
The problem is that when I click on the XML link I get the 'File Download Prompt' which asks me to run or save the file. I figured I could just save the file to temp directory and then open it up to parse it in my VB app but I can't figure out how to grab the file from the browser in my application.

I'm tring to write a function that need to save a file (in csv) and has a condition.
it's something like that:
If the file is small then 1MB then I want to pop up an alert in javascript and then continue with the save as file commands.
What I did was:
if(...)
{
}
else
{
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScriptBlock(...alert('aaa')...);
}
Response.ContentType = "text/csv";
Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=file.csv");
Response.TransmitFile("FILE.csv");
Response.End();
the save as works fine. but the alert wont popup in the else case. I tried RegisterStartupScript. I tried many options. But it seems that the response.end is stops the clientscript from happening.

The problem is that all supported files works properly (jpg, gif, png, pdf, doc, etc), but .docx files, when downloaded, are corrupted and they need to be fixed by Office in order to be opened.
At first I didn't know if the problem was at uncompressing the zip file that contained the .docx, so instead of putting the output file only in the response, I saved it first, and the file opened successfully, so I know the problem should be at response writing.
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).
View 1 Replieswe 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 + """);
My requirement is client has to download files which were uploaded by employees. But if the file name contains a space, Mozilla Firefox use only the name up to the first white space and remaining name is truncated. Is it issue with mozilla firefox? if so how can i get rid of this. Important thing is in IE its working well.

I'm trying to write come code for users to download files, but the files are located above the webroot (e.g. c:downloads)
I've found some code online that allows me to download a file via a url parameter/argument which is perfect, but the files need to be located within the website structure.

how this can be modified so that it can access files outside the webroot?
I'd like it so that I can create an href like: <a href="download.aspx?file=test.pdf">Download File</a> and then the code will download the file from c:downloads est.pdf

I have an export to excel functionality on my web application. WHen the user clicks the "Export to Excel" button, the file is created and it will ask the user to open it or save it to their local machine.
Since the file creation process takes a long time, I added the ajax update progress control. SO now, as soon as the user clicks the "Export to Excel" button, the progress bar image shows up, but after the file is created, I get the following error.
Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerParserErrorException: The message received from the server could not be parsed.
I know that, if we use Response.write in the code behind, we get this error. But I have to use Response.Write because I am presenting the user with a prompt to save or open the newly created file. Is there any other way to do this?
