I tried simple code like this using href element. But it tries to open the sheet.xls in the browser window and says it can't find the file. I want the excel file to be opened in excel (not browser).
<a href="file://domainname/vol1/destinationfiles/sheet.xls" >some excel file</a>
I'm exporting the GridView to Excel. It works fine and I receive a prompt to Save/Open/Cancel the file although I need the file to be saved automatically in the provided (passed to the Export function) location and opened in the same browser window where the Gridview was.

i have an aspx page that loads and displays a text file in a broswer window and it used to work, I made no changes to it and now testing shows additional content appended below the file.
Here is the text file:

The additional output looks like the aspx page itself, which has only a close button incase the file load fails.

We have a tab delimited file that we are making available for download. The file extension is txt, but the users want it to open automatically in Excel. The previous developer had used the following code:
[code]....
The ContentType is being set to Excel, but that doesn't seem to have any effect. I am guessing the txt file extension is causing it to be picked up by notepad or the like instead. I have tried just renaming it to a xls extension, which works but Excel complains that I am trying to trick it or it might be a corrupted file.
I am opening a window with window.open and I am losing the server session. Is there a way to open a window with Javascript and use the same session? I need this working in IE 7 and higher. I am working with ASP.NET on the server side. The sever does not have a sessionless cookie state.

View 4 RepliesI am trying to open an existing asp.net app. on my local machine with VS2008. The app. resides in a folder on the Windows 2003 Server. The app. runs on our intranet. Recently, a change was made to the app. directly by opening one of the files in the solution and adding maybe a couple of lines of c# code and saved back. Of course this would not make a difference as its not been re-compiled.
I copied the whole folder where the app. resides on the server to my desktop and then tried to open the solution with VS2008, it came up with a prompt saying the app was written using a previous version of Visual Studio and needed to be converted to VS2008 format, I followed the intructions, but it failed saying something like "...failed to make a backup etc", it wouldn't open the solution.I have successfully open other apps this way but this one particular one would not just open. All I want to do is to use VS2008 to recompile and publish back to the server. I have tried using VS2005, it just says the app. was created by a newer version of the application...
I think the app was built sometime btw 2004 - 2008. Also, if it is relevant, the folder where the app. resides on the server has a globe icon, don't know if its an IIS thingIs there any other way to compile this .net app. without using VS2008,

View 2 RepliesI have situation where in c# code I am adding an onclick client event handler.
It should do:
Button1.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:window.open('https://"+Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_POST"]+"/reports/?type=1&id=2");
in the end the URL looks like:
https://servername/reports/?type=1&id=2
in the reports folder of my site I have a default aspx page that handles those parameters.
When I click the button with this event, a new window opens but it says there is no page at that address. When I use the link like this
https://servername/reports/default.aspx?type=1&id=2
The page opens but it's blank.
When I run this code as non secure with HTTP, everything works just like it should. The report opens.
Is there any difference using those two different URLs with default.aspx and without it, because in development it behaves the same way, but under HTTPS one page doesn't exist and another is blank?! Is HTTPS the reason for that?
I have a variable, which contains a whole web page. Is there a way to open a new browser window and set the contents of this variable as the page? I don't mind if it's javascript, but it has to be able to hold a bit of data if this is the case.

View 1 RepliesI know this is probably a pretty normal pattern, but, I've never had to code it up. I'm using a GridView to display various items from a SQL query. I can do this without any problems. Upon selecting a specific item, I want to open a new page based on the selected row item link that passes some parameters to a SQLDataSource in the newly spawned window. I know I can use the javascript window.open function() to create a new window, but, I don't know how to pass the desired code to this new window.
