I have word document which is opening perfectly at server but when i download it using button click event of my website it gets currept.i am using below code on button click to make document download. i am using .net framework 3.5
On this page it generates a Excel sheet and allows user to download that. Even though there is a certificate error (trusting issue) it works fine with Firefox.(We can add the exception) But as shown below it does not work properly on IE (both 7 & 8) Is there any settings we can do on both client side or Server side. (I have turned off security for IE on server)
I have an issue while downloading files from a folder.In my application,i have to upload files to a particular folder inside my solution. I dint face any issues while uploading the files to the folder. But while downloading the file from the folder i get an error Access to path 'C:FolderPath' is denied. I am using windows 7.
Below is the coding for download
protected void radgrdDocumnet_ItemCommand(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e) { if (e.Item is GridDataItem) { GridDataItem item = e.Item as GridDataItem; string id = userProcess.Encrypt(item.OwnerTableView.DataKeyValues[item.ItemIndex]["ID"].ToString()); if (e.CommandName == "download") { System.IO.FileStream fs = null
This action has a pretty high likelyhood of throwing an exception (or at least not being able to return the file).
Due to the nature of the application (which contains a lot of dynamic content), I can't really redirect to an error page in this situation. The current page needs to stay open somehow.
So I'm ideally looking for something like a javascript pop-up, but afaik this isn't going to be possible since I don't know any way to return a javacript instruction in a non-ajaxed controller call. If I display an error page I need to force it to open in a new window some how. Is there any possible solution to this problem?
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 m creating asp.net Mobile website page to download symbian .sis file to mobile ,but its not geting download properly.its working perfectly on desktop.
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?
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.
This block of code display Download file Dialog for Open or Save the attached file.It's working fine in Mozila Firefox and IE8 but doesn't display Download file Dialog box in IE 7
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:
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.
I'm trying to force a large (200+ MB) file to download that's on a remote server. The problem is that I can't use the "WriteFile()" function, since I'm not using a virtual path. Then, when I try:
I have a full working web site that i ported to a new hosting company. In some pages i have links to PDF on the server (they do exist!) On the old server no problem.

I had a download task in my project, which inserts files and downloads these files.

But I could not download these files from folder with the ID of path from database
I calculate the total size of my PDF file which is mentioned below. What does this return? When I download a 2KB file, it returns a size of 2KB, which is correct. But when I download 2 files each of size 2KB, then the total size it returns is 2.16KB. Is that correct? Should it return 4KB?
I am using the code below which I have found on one of the forums to download a file in remote server. it seems it is working. However, the downloaded file is corrupted and I cannot unzip.
Related to my previous question on this matter, where the file was not being produced, the file returned by the following code is now empty. My controller action is declared as follows, then has a body that generates CSV lines from records for export. The CSV generation works.
[Authorize(Order = 0, Roles = "Requester,Controller,Installer")] public FileStreamResult ExportJobCards()
In the following code that should return a populated CSV file, lines is of type List<string> and has 126 items. sw.BaseStream has the value 770048 for both its Length and Position properties. A zero byte file is returned to the browser, however.
I have a asp.net application in which i am downloading Excel files that are saved as BLOB in SQL database. These files use their file name in the Workbook_Open method to fill in some cells in the sheet to create templates. I am able to download file with the correct file name if i click 'Save' in the file download dialog and then open the file. This create one extra step for the user....Is there any way by which i can click 'Open' button in the file download dialog and it gives the correct filename to the downloaded file instead of the name of the .aspx page that i am using in downloading?Here is my code
