View 5 RepliesDeveloping a web application in C# which stores files in a tree structure in a server.
A project ( eg: ABC) has many sub folders (eg: ABC_sub1,ABC_Sub2...etc) . Each sub folder will have many types of files. (Eg: .dat,.txt .... etc)
I have stored the project name and the path to the parent folder ( in this case ABC) in a database.
Eg: \sereverNameTestMyProjectABC
What I need to do is when a user selects a given project ( eg; ABC) & clicks the link button component called "browse" to open the folder (\sereverNameTestMyProjectABC) in a new window.
This is the code I thought would work.
protected void LinkButtonFolderBorwse_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string myPath = @HiddenFieldFolderLocation.Value;
System.Diagnostics.Process prc = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
prc.StartInfo.FileName = myPath;
prc.Start();
}
HiddenFieldFolderLocation.Value gets the path of the parent folder (\sereverNameTestMyProjectABC).
When I click the link button nothing happens.
I'm retrieveing pdf file from SQL Server 2008 and i wish to display it in new browsers tab. I successfully retrieved and displayed pdf document when i had pdf viewer installed.
My problem is, that after i unistalled pdf viewer, i got this window, which would be ok if the file wasn't WebForm2.aspx but let's say MyDocument.PDF
Am i doing something wrong? How could i achive that the file would be FileName.pdf and not FileName.aspx (in case of no viewer).

I need to open a second browser window or tab, but it must have a different session ID.
Opening the new browser window from an ASP.NET page is easy, but then it shares the same cookie and thus session ID with the original.
i have an action that return a file content. i added:
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attactment; filename:"" + survey.File + """);
so that the image would be opened in another tab/page, gets opened in the current tab/page. whats wrong with the header?
We have an application that displays files in a network directory path and wondered if there is a way to open Windows Explorer (or something similar to show/open files or subfolders) from the browser and have it display the files and folders in that path.

View 5 RepliesI have a master page, which has menus and submenus, and content pages in my project.
Now in one of the content pages, i need to open a excel file, displaying an Open/save dialog box) should be visible.
I tries using the inline option for Response.AddHeader, but does not display the master page part on the browser.
I have an ASP.NET/C# application that exports some data into an Excel spreadsheet using COM interop at the click of a Button control. When I click the button, Excel is opened with the generated spreadsheet. For what it's worth, here is the button code:
<asp:Button ID="export" Text="Export to spreadsheet" runat="server" OnClick="Export_Workbook" />
This works fine, except when I click the button, close the subsequent spreadsheet, and refresh the page. When the page is refreshed after clicking the button, the call to Export_Workbook() is made again and so the spreadsheet opens again. Firefox, for example, says this when you refresh: "To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier." This is something I want to avoid.
I'm sure there's a better way to accomplish what I'm trying to do, I'm just not sure what the best approach is.
Edit
I've accomplished this by doing the following:
protected void Export_Workbook(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Response.Redirect(Request.Url.AbsolutePath, false);
ItemList.Prepare_Workbook();
}
We have this great asp.net web application that generates word documents (wordprocessingML) and saves them to the file system on the server. We are running IIS 6.0. I would like to know the best way to allow the user to click a link or something so they can open the document from the browser. I have been experimenting with the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word object, but am getting an error when I try to active the application object. I don't know if using this object is the best approach or if I should be doing something else.

Problem Statement: I have a details web page which has a unique sesssion ID generated per user. Now if a user does Ctrl + N or File > New Window and opens a new browser instance then the same session ID is genrated and user can update on both the windows differently and this leads to ambigous updates to DB. How can we stop user to open a new window or how can we detect that a new instance of the same session ID has been genrated twice so as to kill both the sessions with a user firiendly message.
View 1 Repliesany page that I open in my browser comes up blank.
I don't get any errors, it just comes up blank.
I also noticed that it seems to bypass forms authentication. For example, even though the page I open is blank, it is the actual page name that shows up in the browzer instead of the page that it usually redirects to for the forms authentication.
