I have a link on my page that when clicked...all I want to do is download a file to the users computer. They don't even need to be able to select a file because their will only be 1 file. How can I do this to where the only thing that pops up is where to save the file?
I am exporting a datatable to an excel sheet. When the ExportToExcel event is fire it pops up a "file download dialog" asking if I want to open or save. What I want to do is right after user clicks on open, or save I would like to show a modal popup saying "Do you want to finalize this download?".
Here is some code, it all works except it won't show modal popup after exporting to excel. Why won't mpeFinalizeDownload.Show() run unless I comment out the line above it?
I want to initiate download for a pdf file. I used the code below, however the file is downloaded before the save as dialog box is displayed. I want to display the dialog box before downloading!
i created a website that allows the user to download a file from a ftp server.
i can get the file to download perfectly to a specific location on the clients pc but
my problem is that i cannot get the file to download to the default path or the browser or prompt the user to choose a location to save the file.
is there anyone who knows how i can either prompt the user to save the file in a location or even get the file to download to the browsers default downloads path
I have been wrestling with web services technology/techniques for part of 2010 - learning how to reate/consume/deploy... I have also been experimenting with third party web controls from ComponentArt. In some of the samples from ComponentArt I observed that they use .asmx files locally to populate their custom data controls (datagrids, comboboxes, treeview controls...). What is interesting (and a little bit confusing to me) is that in the ComponentArt samples they reference the web services directly within their controls in the markup. My question is if this can be done normally with controls that ship with Visual Studio (any version -- I have em all 2005, 2008, 2010). I ask this question because from VS I only know to reference web services by right clicking on the project in the solution explorer to add a web reference.
Then in the property grid of a data control -- say a treeview control-- they reference the web service, and when the project is run -- the control is populated with data from the web service.
Do data controls from VS support this technique? My other question is if there is a benefit to using a web service as a datasource for a control and what is this benefit? What is the criteria for using a web service in this manner?
I have developped an asmx webservice with visual studio and I deploy on IIS 7 which has 3.5 Framework by copying all the files.
When testing it says
Could not load file or 'System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
I don't use [System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService] so I don't understand why it tries to load System.Web.Extensions.
Note: I'm not using any other assembly/lib I'm just learning webservice so it's very simple: I create a webservice Test.asmx with one method which uses one class Test.cs within same namespace WebServiceTest. This works locally.
3) Finally adding the reference of service contract project in a Hosting project (Console Application) with complete configurations.
I am adding one more windows app project as a client.When i am trying to add the service reference using the address "http://localhost:8000/Tasks", VS 2008 displays the below error.
There was an error downloading 'http://localhost:8000/Tasks'.
Unable to connect to the remote server
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:8000
Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: 'http://localhost:8000/Tasks'.
Could not connect to http://localhost:8000/Tasks. TCP error code 10061: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:8000.
Unable to connect to the remote server
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:8000
If the service is defined in the current solution, try building the solution and adding the service reference again.
I have a button Import on my page. Upon pressing this button, a modal popup dialog appears where the user can enter path of the import file. I have a required field validator to make sure the user entered the path. And I have there a Submit button. My problem is that validation happens not only when I press the Submit button on the modal popup, but also when I press any button on the page itself, which is wrong.
I leaved my VS2008 opened with my project whole night, this morning my machine was automatically rebooted by Windows 7 Update.
So I opened VS to continue my work, when I was trying to use Add View dialog, it popup this error:
error CS0234: Compiling transformation: The type or namespace name 'Data' does not exist in the namespace 'System' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
Also, I try to create another new MVC2 web project, Add view dialog just works fine. How come??

I have made an application where I am displaying the .pdf , .doc , .docx files. These files are uploading from an Admin Panel.When user place a mouse pointer on download icon provided in front of every file, it shows the complete path where it’s get saved.I want to avoid this path visibility even when user place mouse on download icon and even if it Inspect an element (as most modern browser will have this functionality).
we are working on a file download page. We want to download a file with a name with spaces and accents. Although the filename is shown correctly on the filedownload dialog, when we click open, the file name is shown with %e1%ba%a3n%20... on notepad. ('Save as' shows the correct name) This problem only happens in Internet Explorer.
Is there anyway we can Display the file name correctly (on the target application) after opening it (without saving) from file download dialog ?

I am currently writing an ASP .NET (Framework 3.5) page that has a Grid View inside it.
One of the columns of this GridView contains only buttons, that if clicked should open a popup dialog.
To open the dialog I wrote the following code on the button's event handler:
[Code]....
Now when I click on any of the buttons the dialog opens just fine, however I need to pass some parameters to the dialog so that they can be displayed inside it. That's why I've encoded a Base 64 string and passed it as an argument of the popup dialog (apparently if I just used the plain string, the dialog would not open because the string contained linefeed characters).
Unfortunately I wasn't able to get the parameter (base 64 string) on the code behind of the popup dialog. How can I do this?
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?
