Viewing File Using .net / To Copy/download File To Local User Machine And To Open
Nov 16, 2010
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.
File.Copy(
sPath + dataReader["url"].ToString(),
Path.GetTempPath() + dataReader["url"].ToString(),
true);

I have created a CSV file on the server and want to send it to the user using the following code:
Dim strPhysicalPath As String
strPhysicalPath = Server.MapPath( "CSV/" & PathVirtual)
Dim objFileInfo As System.IO.FileInfo = New System.IO.FileInfo(strPhysicalPath)
Response.Clear()
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" & objFileInfo.Name)
Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", objFileInfo.Length.ToString())
Response.WriteFile(strPhysicalPath)
Response.Flush()
Response.End()
This seems to work fine except when the downloaded file is viewed in Excell the html code behind the page from which it came is also appended to the file. Does anyone have any idea why it does this?

I am attempting to write an asp.net application that copies any file from the user's local machine to another server on the same network.
The Catch
The server that will house the application is separate from the server that will receive the files from the local user's machine. In other words, to do the file copy the user will have to access the application on one server via IIS and within the application it must place that file on another server. Further, these servers while on the same network cannot physically see each other.
In addition, the users of the application are connected Anonymously (Anonymous Authentication)

I've developed a C# Windows forms application that I want to market. I also have a web site built using aspx.net. I would like to have a customer download my application from my website to their machine and install it or save it. I've never tried this before, but it appears to be standard stuff for downloading anything from a web site.

I am using VSTS 2008 + C# + .Net 3.5 + Silverlight 3.0 + ASP.Net to develop a Silverlight application (a video media player) in browser and the function is simple, just use MediaElement to play a remote video file.The remote server is Windows Server 2008 + IIS 7.0 + IIS Media Bit Rate Throttling Control.Since the request media URL can be discovered (e.g. from traffic sniffer), and I want to know how to prevent from download directly from the Url? i.e. I want end user to use my Silverlight media player application in browser to play the file, prevent them from download to local directly. Any easy and quick solution or reference code/documents?

I basically want to transfer a file from the client to the file storage server without actual login to the server so that the client cannot access the storage location on the server directly. I can do this only if i manually login to the storage server through windows login. I dont want to do that. This is a Web-Based Application.
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
filePath = FileUpload1.FileName;
try
{
WebClient client = new WebClient();
NetworkCredential nc = new NetworkCredential(uName, password);
Uri addy = new Uri("\\192.168.1.3\upload\");
[code]...

I have a webpage that allows a user to download a specified file. When the file is ready to be fully downloaded (i.e I call the HttpResponse.End or HTTPRepone.Flush) the user is presented with a File Download dialogue.
Is there any way to determine what option the user has selected?
Have they Opened, Saved or Cancelled the File Download once the Flush or End has been sent?

suppose when user click on link or button for downloading file in asp.net then download start.so i just want to know how to detect that the file as been downloaded in client machine.is it possible to track from server side code. because i want to develop a file download sectionfrom where user at a time can download only single file. so in this case when file download starti will just capture client ip and store it in session and so when user click on another link to download another fileat the same when another file is downloading so in this situation i will check file is downloading from this ip and if yesthen i will reject user request and tell him that sorry already a file is downloading so try after when this download willbe over. when file download will be over then i will clear that session and in this way my purpose will be solved andrestric user to downlolad multiple file.this type of things is used in rapidshare,hotfile etc. so i just implement this

I have a form where users can store some data for archived documents. All documents are ONLY in PDF format.
There are 2 things I would like to do:
1. there is a "file path" text box on the form. I would like to open a "browse file dialog" box when user clicks the textbox and then the user browses for the file (file is on the users local machine) and selects it. The full file path should be saved to the textbox as string (e.g. "c:archive2010document11122011.pdf"). Also I would like to "limit" the file browser dialog to only show PDF format files...
2. add a code behind command to open the file from the saved path+name (see 1.) in the user's default PDF viewer (Acrobat or Foxit)

In my asp.net application (an inhouse software) I want users to be able to use files from Network (filepath stored in database). I use the following code to download the files:
string strAttachmentID = ((Label)GridViewNotes.Rows[GridViewNotes.SelectedIndex].FindControl("lblAttachmentID")).Text;
int AttachmentID = Convert.ToInt32(strAttachmentID);
Attachment attachment = Attachment.GetAttachment_ByAttachmentID(AttachmentID);
[Code]....
Is there anyway to open the file without downloading it in a web based application, i.e. open the file directly from the network so when the users edit it and save it, the actual file is changed.

I have a mail list where i can select many mails and download (with/without opening the mail). During the download process i update the mail status(download/open) and show the content in pdf. In normal browser dialog opens where user can save open or cancel options exits. But if the user cancel then the update process done on the mail should not happen. so i think about doing the update process if the user clicks open or save but how can i identity that client control (i think it depend on the browser)
The issue is present if i download and unopened mail and click cancel button in the dialog box the pdf creation code i have done is in this link
[URL]
which i used to open that dialog in browser to save pdf

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?

When the user clicks on "OPEN" button, It should open up that(.txt) file which is on the file server in ReadWrite Mode (like in notepad) without any Access Issues.
Or simply has to be openend as temporary READONLY .Txt File. So that the user can close after viewing it.

I want to allow my user to click on a button that says "download" and then will build a dynamic csv file on the fly and will prompt the user to download. I know how to build the file using a HTTPHandler, but not quite sure the mechanism for delivering the content via download.
