Web Forms :: Downloading An Xml File In Web App Is Of Type .aspx?
Oct 14, 2010
Ive created a Web App where it is possible to download an xml file from the server to the client. It works just fine except that the Save Dialog recognizes the file being dowloaded as of type .aspx and the name of the file as being the name of the page I' on. The page is called Download.aspx and it contains a button that when clicked executes the following code:
[Code]....
The save dialog appears and says:
Name: Download.aspx
Type: ASP.NET Server Page, 1,16KB
From: 127.0.0.1
If I download the file and open it it contains the correct Xml file content and nothing else, so it is working correctly. It just annoys me that it appears to the user that he is downloading the aspx site (and it shows up as such in windows explorer as well) rather than the xml file which is the actual content.
i have some problem on downloading file which file types are .doc, .docx and .pdf.
I have wrote the code for downloading when the button is click. the button can download these three types of file when click.
[Code]....
But, i have some weird condition. when i test in my local pc using the firefox, the downloading box popup with the file type detected. but when i upload the code files in live server and test the download button using firefox, the downloading popup but it cannot detect the file type.
therefore, i can proceed the download process using the firefox but i failed to open the files coz it dun have the file type.
I am using an ASP.NET FileUpload to upload files to the server. How to upload it to the rootfolder of my project. I want to add the files to a collection or list of files to be shown on the webpage in the form of gridview. Each file should have a link to itself in the list So that it could be downloaded by the click-if desired. The gridview will also have a delete column so that I can delete any of the corresponding file-as desired.
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 making a gridview in which textfield of password should match with the password stored in the database (table) .As soon as that happens, the file should be ready to download . now the problem is that the code is niether working nor showing any error, which is very sarcastic.
if (txtval.Text != null || txtval.Text !="") { if (txtval.Text == ds.Tables[0].Rows[0]["FilePassword"].ToString()) { lblmessage.Text = "File has been downloaded successfully."; WebClient fileReader = new WebClient();..........
i use generic handler to store an image. When i use in my webpage to retrieve image from handler and download into PDF, it shows an error msg as "Illegal characters in path."
I have 4 checkboxes named(Laptop, Car, Phone, TV) and a button. when user checks one Car checkbox and clicks a button, car specifications pdf should be downloaded. Similarly when phone or laptop checkbox checked, relevant pdf's should be downloaded. For this i have written following code
[Code]....
This code is working well in VS2008 but has issues when run in localhost.
Issue --> Check one checkbox like chkPhone and click on button, the Phone pdf gets downloaded and uncheck chkPhone checkbox and check other one like chkCar and when clicked on button to download, getting following errors.
1. xml parsing error not well-formed --> this error is getting only in mozilla.
2. HTTP/1.1 100 Continue Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.1 Date: Wed, 09 Mar 2011 05:34:23 GMT X-Powered-By: ASP.NET HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.1 Date: Wed, 09 Mar 2011 05:34:23 GMT X-Powered-By: ASP.NET X-AspNet-Version: 2.0.50727 Content-disposition: attachment; filename=Car.pdf;
I have googled the issues and find the following sites[URL] For second issue i added the following line
Works great on localhost. But when I upload it to the server with IIS6.it works 25% of the time. the other times, I just get an empty (0 bytes) file to download.
I have a page that has a note to the user about the file they're about to download and a button to click to start the download. When they click the button, it does a Response.Redirect to another page with the following code in its Page_Load:
I want the download to start and then I want this page (which is a tab in the browser) to close.
The code to download the file works fine. I just can't figure out how to close this tab when it's finished. I've read a lot of forum posts from people who are using similar code, but none of the suggestions seem to work for me. I understand that Response.End means that I can't put any more code this page; it will be ignored. But how do I get this tab to close?
I have code to actually create a CSV file from a Gridview control. What I am trying to figure out is how I can set the default 'Save As File name when the Save As dialog comes up that gets generated from the Response.AppendHeader in the content-disposition ?
Below is my code that I have.
protected void btnExportExcel_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { // CurrView is populated from a Session variable string fname = "e:\data\customapps\fieldsalesreports\mydata\" + CurrView + ".csv";.....
I have a web app which displays some data in a GridView. This GridView is populated with a method called BindGrid. The user selectes one or more rows from the grid, then clicks the Process button. What needs to happen is that the selected rows are assembled into a CSV file which is downloaded to the browser, then the database is updated to reflect which rows were selected, and the grid is refreshed so the previously selected rows are no longer displayed. This all sort of works, except...
My code is below, which is very similar to lots of snippets found in this forum.
The problem is that if I uncomment Response.End(), or replace it with ApplicationInstance.CompleteRequest, it all works great except none of the code after Response.End() executes, and so the log entry is not made and the grid is not refreshed.
If I comment Response.End(), as in the snippet below, the code following does run, including the log entry and the call to BindGrid. (I know that because log entries inside BindGrid are made.) However, the page does not refresh. If I press F5 to refresh the page, it redraws correctly refreshed.
So the question is, how do I refresh the page after downloading the file?
I have tried calling both Response.Redirect and Server.Transfer after BindGrid
