I have a gridview with a Download button that serves a download to a user. I put it in App_Data so its secure so people can't try to download it. However, when I use this code, the save as dialog box pops up, and when i hit save as, the file immediately finishes loading - and it's just 0 bytes. The file is 5 Megabytes.

here's the code so far:

mov is a quicktime file, my server has the mimetype: video/quicktime .......... but as I read, this code forces the save as download box which is exactly what i want :) now, here's the catch, i the file I am fetching is NOT on the physical path... it is on a completely different server:Protected Sub LinkButton1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles LinkButton1.Click
Response.Clear()
Response.ContentType = "x-msdownload"
Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", ("attachment; filename=mydownload.mov"))
Response.TransmitFile("http://myOTHERserver.com/files/mydownload.mov")
Response.End()
End Sub
Obviously this doesn't work since TransmitFile requires that the file be on your physical path, so how do i do this? Someone said you must use the stream method. Do you have any sample code I could try? I've tried the HTTPStreamReader object but it's giving me issues, so I would love to find out if there is anyway this might work. Now here's some more important information: this are HUGE video files.. we are creating a downloads page... written in asp.net -- so you create an account using the .net membership class, then you select the file you want, go through a form where you enter your billing info and then after you pay a certain fee (this is already implemented), you go to your "downlaods" area in your account... there you have access to the files......... the reason i'm doing this is because i want to hide the download link, which will be something likehttp://myOTHERserver.com/2340987sdfkjhalsdlkjh23 ... (something really crazy)....... we don't want people seeing this on the status bar (Therefore hiding the download link is ESSENTIAL)........ the files are a good 500MB each approximately; so i would love to hear all of your suggestions as to making the streamreader work for me and how long would it take for the streamreader to READ the file........
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).
View 1 RepliesI have a url of CCAvenue with only single date for reporting [URL] .....
I need to give my reporting team for an option so that they can get the data of more than one date. i.e. fromdate and todate. To achieve this I am selecting from date and to date and on button click I have written this code
protected void btngetdata_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { DateTime start = DateTime.ParseExact(txtfromDate.Text, "yyyy-MM-dd", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture); DateTime end = DateTime.ParseExact(txttodate.Text, "yyyy-MM-dd", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
for (DateTime counter = start; counter <= end; counter = counter.AddDays(1)) { string url = string.Format("https://mars.ccavenue.com/servlet/ccav.MerchantReconReport?User_Id=M_npa20362_20362&Date=" + counter); } }
I want output of this url to download into CSV file.
I currently have an asp.net page which a loggd in user goes to and theres a bunch of dynamically generated links to zip files that he or she owns and can downloads.Currently they click download and I have no way of knowing if it completes succesfully etc so can't log it.

View 1 Replies i have a site that will enable users to download an ebook file.i have successfully built architecture to enable users to download pdf and txt files, but it won't work when i try with a .mobi file, even though i know the file exists.the site works by allowig users to upload their work as .doc, .docx or .odt. once it's verified, the site publishes it as .pdf, .txt and .mobi and makes it available for download. the download code is...
string mstitle = title.ToUpper();
string dlpath = [the server path] + msid + mstitle + ".mobi";[code]....
(there are also versions with .txt and .pdf) the file definitely exists at the location in .txt, .pdf and .mobi extensions. however, the .mobi version simply won't work i get an error 404 resource not found. mystifyingly, the pdf and txt versions work perfectly.
I have been supplied this example for a force download[URL]However, what I would like to know what to do is to hide from the users the physical file path from the users as they do not have direct access to this server. Is there away for me to keep this file path private on a download?

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to use a BulletedList to output some links. When the list renders, all the link tags are encoded, so they are displayed to the user instead of being rendered as links.
Is there a way to make the BulletedList not do this? I'm doing a foreach over a custom object collection where each object has a string representing a link as a property. I just want to build a list of links and I thought a BulletedList was a good way to do it. Is there a better way or a way that doesn't encode the output?

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?
