I'm about to submit my pad file to multiple sharware sites but the pad file has to have a direct link to the download file and can't link to a download page which is what I would like to do, so I can track the traffic and get the downloader's email before allowing the download. I am running an ASP.NET site in VB. Is there a way to tell the web app to redirect to a specific aspx page when it receives a request for a specific file?
i m creating asp.net Mobile website page to download symbian .sis file to mobile ,but its not geting download properly.its working perfectly on desktop.
I am using some code similar to the code below to open a word document on my ASP.net app. Once the file has been downloaded and opened I then want to either redirect to another page or refresh the screen but nothing works after response.end and if i add it before response.end the browser never downloads the file?
I am writing something that will use my database to generate/populate some Word/Excel Template Documents for Contracts. These will be written to a directory on my server that I want my user to be able to have access to to download these contracts from. I was thinking a GridView with a TemplateField with a Hyperlink in it for simplicity's sake.
The Download.ashx Http Handler generates the file (Content-Type : application/pdf), and if I click on my LinkButton, it does PostBack and download the file after showing a popup... But I can't manage to close this popup automatically.
I tried some methods
settimeout('self.close()',1000) after the download Setting a RegisterStartupScript on the LinkButton.Command, to trigger the download after the postback, but IE6 prompts a warning that disturbs my users
So, none of these methods seems to work fine.
So, my question is : Is there a way to make the popup instantly disappear, or is there a means to make the page download the file AND postback at the same time ?
PS : I thought of the Your download will begin shortly method, but I'm afraid I'll have the same issues as before with the RegisterStartupScript...
I put together a download script after some wonderful help from stack overflow the other day. However I've now found that after the file has been downloaded I need to reload the page to get rid of the progress template on the aspx page. The code to remove the template worked before I added in the download code.
Code to remove progress template: upFinanceMasterScreen.Update(); I've tried calling putting this before and after the redirect to the IHttpHandler Response.Redirect("Download.ashx?ReportName=" + "RequestingTPNLeagueTable.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?
I'm trying to use a java servlet in a 3rd party tool's web interface (CA service desk) to invoke it's download file functionality using a webclient in vb.net. The trouble is the text stream from response is markup and not the acutual text file stream.
It's like the page is redirecting to another page which actually presents the file for downloading. I have no idea what the redirected page URL is.
Is there a way I can process this redirected page in order to get at the download using a system.net.webclient?
But if I do that the current page will be erased and return blank to the user.
Other examples says to create "download.aspx" and request it by javascript, but on a this new page I won't have access to the ViewState data of the first page.
The point is, how can I create a file, launch the download and don't lose the current page status?
I have a Hyperlink on Page A and i would like to navigate to Page B that has TabContainer with 4 tabs. What i would like to do is to navigate from Page A to the 2. tab of Page B.
In my gridview I have a button which adds a new row to the grid. The problem i am having is that when the user clicks this add row button, it needs to go to the last page and add a new row there.
At the moment when I click the button i get an error saying - Index was out of range.
I'm sure this is because the method i am using doesn't know how to get to the last page... it needs to do this no matter what page the user is on
The method i use to add a new row is as follows: how i can adapt it to recognise the last page and row position in the gridview?
I have a HyperLink column in a gridview that when clicked should navigate the user to another page. I pass parameters to the page using a querystring. i want to know the basic code in C# to pass parameter to other using querystring
This action has a pretty high likelyhood of throwing an exception (or at least not being able to return the file).
Due to the nature of the application (which contains a lot of dynamic content), I can't really redirect to an error page in this situation. The current page needs to stay open somehow.
So I'm ideally looking for something like a javascript pop-up, but afaik this isn't going to be possible since I don't know any way to return a javacript instruction in a non-ajaxed controller call. If I display an error page I need to force it to open in a new window some how. Is there any possible solution to this problem?
I am using a repeater and binding with a datasource. I have a navigate url in the repeater inside the item tmeplate.
Repeater control is in the web form with few fields. When you click on one of the urls, it should take the fields associated with it and fill in the fields of the web page. How can i do this?
