But if I do that the current page will be erased and return blank to the user.
Other examples says to create "download.aspx" and request it by javascript, but on a this new page I won't have access to the ViewState data of the first page.
The point is, how can I create a file, launch the download and don't lose the current page status?
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?
My organization uses a CMD file to install updated files for a major enterprise application. Currently, we send out an email to users with a link to the file and instructions to run it, BUT inevitably users don't update their machines until their in field and try to start the app.
We're now liking the idea of using an ASPX page to prompt the users to run the updates and to capture the fact that the updates have been run. I realize that we can't capture the success or failure of the update. But we'd like to capture the user accessed the page.
Is it possible to embed into the markup for the page a link to the file on the local intranet that the users can click on to run the file?
The user accessing the page would capture that they did just that. We'd deal with wether or not the update was actually installed or if it failed later with them directly.
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 have problem when try auto download in another page that already been specify.In current page, I have button to trigger to redirect page to download page, but I wish to download done automatic, even it don't done automatic.

I'd like to know how I can warn a user when they're leaving a page where they've changed data (i.e. "You have unsaved data on this page, are you sure you want to abanon it?"). For example, the page has a few dropdown lists, some textboxes, etc. I'd like to warn them if they try to leave the page before saving the data. How can I do this? To add to my confusion, I also have a dropdown menu control (skmMenu) on the page that doesn't seem to have any events I can tie into.
I have a session variable which contains a list of elements. The user defines filters, which are sent to the Database, which fills the object with the elements that match. Then, that list is shown in a table. The code goes something like this:
[Code]....
Inside that page there is a button, which sends the request given the user filters. The Server creates the object and the session variable is assigned a value.
[Code]....
It works when the user sets the filters. However, given that once done it, the session variable has a value, I don't understand why if you navigate to other pages, the table doesn't appear when you return, given that:
1. It works when you perform the query and reload the page
2. The Session variable should be set for the rest of the session
I'm pretty new at configuring IIS and working with SSL. I've been having difficulty with switching from the HTTPs protocol to the HTTP protocol. I had set a small part of our website to the HTTPS protocol since it has an SSL certificate for online commmerce.
When users go through that part of the site the HTPPS protocol is set and runs fine, but when they try to leave by, say, clicking on a link to another part of the site (after they have visited the secured portion of the site) the HTTPS stays in the url. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
This is how the HTTPS is set on the site: this code is placed in an sslredirect.asp page located in a "SSL" folder:
<% Response.Buffer = True If (Request.ServerVariables("HTTPS") = "off") Then sQ = Request.ServerVariables("QUERY_STRING") sURL = "https" & Right(sQ, (Len(sQ)-8)) sURL = Replace(sURL, ":80", "") Response.redirect(sURL) End if %>
I am writing something that will use my database to generate/populate some Word/Excel Template Documents for Contracts. These will be written to a directory on my server that I want my user to be able to have access to to download these contracts from. I was thinking a GridView with a TemplateField with a Hyperlink in it for simplicity's sake.
The Download.ashx Http Handler generates the file (Content-Type : application/pdf), and if I click on my LinkButton, it does PostBack and download the file after showing a popup... But I can't manage to close this popup automatically.
I tried some methods
settimeout('self.close()',1000) after the download Setting a RegisterStartupScript on the LinkButton.Command, to trigger the download after the postback, but IE6 prompts a warning that disturbs my users
So, none of these methods seems to work fine.
So, my question is : Is there a way to make the popup instantly disappear, or is there a means to make the page download the file AND postback at the same time ?
PS : I thought of the Your download will begin shortly method, but I'm afraid I'll have the same issues as before with the RegisterStartupScript...
I put together a download script after some wonderful help from stack overflow the other day. However I've now found that after the file has been downloaded I need to reload the page to get rid of the progress template on the aspx page. The code to remove the template worked before I added in the download code.
Code to remove progress template: upFinanceMasterScreen.Update(); I've tried calling putting this before and after the redirect to the IHttpHandler Response.Redirect("Download.ashx?ReportName=" + "RequestingTPNLeagueTable.pdf");
Is there anyways to launch Cassini web server from a command line? The exe appears to be in this path, C:Program Files (x86)Common Filesmicrosoft sharedDevServer10.0
I'm trying to use a java servlet in a 3rd party tool's web interface (CA service desk) to invoke it's download file functionality using a webclient in vb.net. The trouble is the text stream from response is markup and not the acutual text file stream.
It's like the page is redirecting to another page which actually presents the file for downloading. I have no idea what the redirected page URL is.
Is there a way I can process this redirected page in order to get at the download using a system.net.webclient?
I am using some code similar to the code below to open a word document on my ASP.net app. Once the file has been downloaded and opened I then want to either redirect to another page or refresh the screen but nothing works after response.end and if i add it before response.end the browser never downloads the file?
