I am generating a text file on server. I want this file to be able to get downloaded by clients accessing the site. Like, when the file is generated a link should appear on the page that says,"Download the File". Clicking that will run a code that will download te file and save it on client's PC. How to do this?
View 3 RepliesI'm using ASP.NET 4 and the routing engine. In my Global.asax I have something like this.
routes.MapPageRoute(
"Items",
"manager/items",
"~/Manager/Item/Items.aspx"
);
Is writing a link this this acceptable?: <a href="/Manager/Items"></a> Should I be using the <% %> tags and code within to retrieve the route name, "Items" in this case?

View 1 RepliesI have been looking for a pretty simple setup for listing files in a directory. I found one, pretty straight forward and works in listing the files. But now i need to modify the code a bit to accomplish 2 things..#1 i need to enable the file names to be links to the file. Currently i have it linked, but points to the server file structure and not the website structure, by this i mean that when you mouse over a file, the link looks like this (file:///c:/inetpub/wwwroot/images/icons/current.gif ) and i need it to look like this ( www.site.com/images/icons/current.gif )#2 Currently for my test page, i have the path setup like this: DirectoryInfo dirInfo = newDirectoryInfo(Server.MapPath(@"imagesicons"));Is there anyway to get the current path for that page, so i dont have to hard code the directory for each page i need this setup on? Also, how can i update the part for the file types to display, i need to display 3 different types, so notsure how to update that line either.Here is the ASPX and Code behind i have setup.

View 6 RepliesI need to make a backup copy of a file on a remote server. The backup will remain in the same directory on that server. The problem I am having is that the file is large and it appears to be copying it back to the server the code is running on and is taking too much time. Is there a way to make a copy of the file in place without it being sent across the network?
View 4 RepliesWe've got a product built using ASP.NET web forms (3.5), and are investigating adding an API to allow other applications to access data and business logic within the application.
What is the best way to implement this? I'm inclined to go down the route of using Http Handlers to read posted XML and return XML, but I'm sure there must be a better way. Is it advisable to use something like WCF instead?As the product will be downloaded and installed by users on their own servers (instead of hosted), it seems like there's a lot of pressure to get it right the first time as making changes will be hard once users start downloading and using the product.
My goal is to take some form inputs and prompt the user to download a summary of everything once a certain button is clicked. I have no need for the file once it is downloaded and so I'd like to have a solution where the data is streamed directly to the user. My current solution doesn't even prompt the user for a download. Can anyone point out what I'm doing wrong?
I've got it wrapped as a webmethod and so I needed to add a definition of the _Default page class so I could access certain things.

this wasn't mentioned earlier but the webmethod is being called by an AJAX request!

I have a HTML file which I want to load, say in a Label control. This HTML file have a series of unordered list, which acts as a vertical menu links for the various sections of the file.Now, I have no idea whether these links, inside the HTML file, will work if I load it on Label control. Is there any other way of doing this ? I want those links to work when the file gets loaded.

View 1 RepliesI have a gridview with a Download button that serves a download to a user. I put it in App_Data so its secure so people can't try to download it. However, when I use this code, the save as dialog box pops up, and when i hit save as, the file immediately finishes loading - and it's just 0 bytes. The file is 5 Megabytes.

Have written an ASP.Net application. Part of the application deals with being able to view PDFs. The initial PDF viewed acts as an index to access other PDF documents. You click a link in the Index PDF and it jumps to another PDF file. Legal documents, agreements, etc.
This scenario works on some computers and on others it doesn't. I managed to figure out what the problem was. On some of the computers the initial Index PDF was being hosted within the browser and on some other computers it was actually jumping out of the browser and directly into Adobe Acrobat. As soon as the PDF jumps out of the browser and into Acrobat the relative links in the Index PDF stop working because it is hosted client side via Acrobat but the additional PDFs it is trying to access are on the server.
I figured out why some computers stay in browser and why some jump out. There is an option within Acrobat itself that determines this behavior. It is under Edit--> Preferences ----> Display PDF in Browser.
I am in a jam because I am not in control of the PDF documents themselves and how they are written, and I obviously have no control over the options selected in Acrobat on each and every computer. My problem is also compounded by the fact that our firm has just recently purchased a new PDF reader called Nuance that will be pushed out firm wide soon and I don't think it even has the option to have PDFs hosted in browser.
I can get what I need to work if I create the index in HTML, but the problem is I don't write the Indexes and the people who do are not trained in HTML. I can get the people who write the indexes to change from relative links to absolute links, but then I run into the problem of what if we change where we are hosting the PDF files? All the links will break again? I think we are stuck with relative URLs, but how can I make it work?
I am thinking about maybe hosting the PDFs within Silverlight?
Is it required to use a RESTful service to be able to make a ajax call to a wcf service (for example: by using WebInvoke attribute on Operation contracts). Once a service is made RESTful by adding a webHttp binding on the service host, can the host have other endpoints as well? (wsHttp or netTcp). Is it required that the aspNetCompatibilityEnabled be set to true for a service that has webHttp binding (and can this setting coexist for other endpoints). I understand I can use both JQuery and ScriptManager for making WCF calls on the client. Why should I use one over the other?
