Web Forms :: Download .doc File From The Server And Show In Text Box
Oct 26, 2010
I am using asp.net 3.5 with C#. I can able to upload the .doc file in the server but i now want to download the .doc file from the server and show it in a text file.I can able to download the file but it show with a save/open window. I just want to show the contents of the .doc file in a text box..
In an ASP.NET WebForms 2.0 site we are encountering an intermittent bug in IE6 whereby a file download attempt results in the contents of the being shown directly in the browser as text, rather than the file save dialog being displayed. Our application allows the user to download both PDF and CSV files. The code we're using is:
This is called from the code-behind click event handler of a button server control. Where are we going wrong with this approach? Edit Following James' answer to this posting, the code I'm using now looks like this:
HttpResponse response = HttpContext.Current.Response; response.ClearHeaders(); // Setting cache to NoCache was recommended, but doing so results in a security // warning in IE6 //response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache); response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename="theFilename.pdf""); response.ContentType = "application/pdf"; response.BinaryWrite(MethodThatReturnsFileContents()); response.Flush(); response.End();
However, I don't believe that any of the changes made will fix the issue.
This block of code display Download file Dialog for Open or Save the attached file.It's working fine in Mozila Firefox and IE8 but doesn't display Download file Dialog box in IE 7
I'm trying to force a large (200+ MB) file to download that's on a remote server. The problem is that I can't use the "WriteFile()" function, since I'm not using a virtual path. Then, when I try:
The problem I am having is that I get an exception after this code runs. I believe it's due to the fact that I call Response.End(). So, every time a user downloads a file it redirects them to the generic error page because all generic exceptions redirect to that page.
how I can write text out to a file and not get this error? If I remove Response.End() I get my text and then the rest of the HttpResponse text, but I don't get the error.
have a Page that automatically generates a file and sends it to the Response. I need a Dialog to be shown during the file creation and hidden after the browser download dialog appears.
I am having an issue downloading files that I have store in SQL Server. I have no problem in a WinForm. What am I doing wrong in my code?

I have a window open from another page because I was having an issue doing this while the page was ajaxified. The FileData part of the code is a structure that holds a memorystream and 2 strings and they are returning proper values. The window opens up and then closes almost immediately when the page loads.
I am creating Excel file from code. This code is working fine in my local server. because it is local iis and local VS. When I deployed in the server. I am not able to see (download) excel to client browser. How can we give access to see excel in client browser?

Iv created a web application using vb.net 2005. Its working fine and running fine on the server (Microsoft Server 2003). The problem i have is to dowload a file from the same server using vb.net. I tried using this code but it gives me a : "is not a virtual path" error.
Currently we are saving files (PDF, DOC) into the database as BLOB fields. I would like to be able to retrieve the raw text of the file to be able to manipulate it for hit-highlighting and other functions.Does anyone know of a simple way to either parse out the files and save the raw text on save, either via SQL or .net code. I have found that Adobe has a filtdump utility that will convert the PDF to text. Filtdump seems to be a command line tool, and i don't see a way to use a file stream. And what would the extractor be for Office documents and other file types?-or-Is there a way to pull out the raw text from the SQL Full text index, without using 3rd party filters?Note i am trying to build a .net & MSSql solution without having to use a third party tool such as Lucene
Does anyone know how this is possible? I can retrieve the file, but I cannot figure out or find anywhere online how to prompt the user where he/she wants to download the file to.
I am using the code below to enable clients to download a .csv file from my server.
The problem I am having is that when the file is saved to the client computer the file name is prefixed and suffixed with an underscore which leads to a file type of .csv_ which is obviously not a recognised file type.
How can I strip the underscores from the file name at the transmit stage?
Dim FileName As String = LstBox1.SelectedItem.ToString Dim FilePath As String = "~/temp" & FileName Response.Clear() Response.ContentType = "text/csv" Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" & FileName & "") Response.TransmitFile(FilePath) Response.End()
