Web Forms :: Send A Large File To The Response Stream - OutofMemory?
May 20, 2010
I'm using Filestream for read big file (> 500 MB) and I get the OutOfMemoryException. Any solutions about it?? I want this in my app asp.net: Read DATA from Oracle Uncompress file using FileStream and BZip2 Read file uncompressed and send it to asp.net page for download. When I read file from disk, Fails !!! and get OutOfMemory. My Code is:
using (var fs3 = new FileStream(filePath2, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
{
byte[] b2 = ReadFully(fs3, 1024);
}
// [URL]
public static byte[] ReadFully(Stream stream, int initialLength)
{
// If we've been passed an unhelpful initial length, just
// use 32K.
if (initialLength < 1)
{
initialLength = 32768;
}
byte[] buffer = new byte[initialLength];
int read = 0;
int chunk;
while ((chunk = stream.Read(buffer, read, buffer.Length - read)) > 0)
{
read += chunk;
// If we've reached the end of our buffer, check to see if there's
// any more information
if (read == buffer.Length)
{
int nextByte = stream.ReadByte();
// End of stream? If so, we're done
if (nextByte == -1)............................
I have an excel file in my Response Output stream. I can Open the stream as a file after a prompt, but it doesn't seem I can save it directly to a specified folder on my client.
I have an httpmodule and it has a handler for OnEndRequest. I am trying to write the HttpContext.Response.OutputStream to a file. I am trying to use the Read method of it. But when it is called the exception message i get is "Specified method is not supported". So i am not able to do what i want that is, write the response to a file on the disk. I am able to write the HttpContext.Request.InputStream to a file using its Read method which i do in a handler for OnBeginRequest.
I need to to export a file to the user. It takes 1-2 min to generate the file so I'd like to have the page go into a kind-of modal mode with a layover on the page and a 'Working' spinner showing. The problem is I can't make the modal stuff go away after Save File dialog is closed.
How can I remove the layover after the dialog is done?

// Nope. Resize the buffer, put in the byte we've just // read, and continue byte[] newBuffer = new byte[buffer.Length * 2]; Array.Copy(buffer, newBuffer, buffer.Length); newBuffer[read] = (byte)nextByte; buffer = newBuffer; read++; } } // Buffer is now too big. Shrink it. byte[] ret = new byte[read]; Array.Copy(buffer, ret, read); return ret; }
There are bunch of files stored in a DataBase as varbinary/image data. I am writing a program to extract these file data and send them to the browser so file can be opened or saved. My method is,
[code]....
BUT this method creates a file in the Server and then transmit to the browser. Means 100s of files will be created in the server when I open 100s of files with this process, naturally I want to avoid that.
Is it possible to do this without creating a copy of the file in the server ?
This works in other browsers but not in chrome. I am trying to allow users to upload large files and have an ajax call to update them on the progress of the file upload.
So a unique ID is generated on the client side and added to the action of the form before sending. Then the form is submitted (form only contains a file upload input) and an ajax call is made to get the progress of the upload. The ajax call goes to another page and uses the ID to lookup the upload.
I am using JQuery 1.5.1. Debugging this and putting something on the error function give me nothing other than "error". Not very helpful. I used Chrome's debugger and it just says failed to load resource xxxx.aspx. xxx.aspx is the URL i needed. Turns out that there seems to be some sort of conflict between the form and the ajax call.
I'm trying to return an xml string from a IHttpHandler to a like this: context.Response.Write(xml); When I receive the response in my .aspx.cs I try to load the document as follows: var xml = XDocument.Load(xmlString); but I get an Illegal Characters in Path error message. I've also tried
in previously asked question answeres said they dont get what i want to do exactly so heres is the full code also i simply want that instead of a TABLESe i rendered an image( of the content ) on the page
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Web; using System.Web.UI; using System.IO; using System.Text; using System.Data; using System.Drawing; public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page { protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { System.Web.UI.WebControls.Panel panelmain = new System.Web.UI.WebControls.Panel(); System.Web.UI.WebControls.Literal abc = new System.Web.UI.WebControls.Literal(); abc.Text = "as<br/>dasdas<br/>dasdad"; DataSet ds = new DataSet(); DataTable dt; DataRow dr; DataColumn idCoulumn; DataColumn nameCoulumn; dt = new DataTable(); idCoulumn = new DataColumn("ID", Type.GetType("System.Int32")); nameCoulumn = new DataColumn("Name", Type.GetType("System.String")); dt.Columns.Add(idCoulumn); dt.Columns.Add(nameCoulumn); dr = dt.NewRow(); dr["ID"] = 1; dr["Name"] = "Name1"; dt.Rows.Add(dr); dr = dt.NewRow(); dr["ID"] = 2;.............
MemoryStream export = new MemoryStream(); iCalendarSerializer serializer = new iCalendarSerializer(iCal); serializer.Serialize(export,System.Text.Encoding.UTF8); return export;
so I am using the C# DDay.iCal library for exporting my calendars. Serialize takes in a "stream" so I passed it a memory stream. I now have a generic handler that calls the method that contains the above code.
public class CalendarHandler : IHttpHandler { private Calendar service; private Membership membershipS; public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context) { service = new Calendar (); membershipS = new Membership (null); string userName = context.User.Identity.Name; Guid userId = membershipS.GetUsersId(userName); context.Response.ContentType = "text/calendar"; // calls the export calendar(the code that showed above that uses dDay ical. var t = service.ExportCalendar(userId); t.WriteTo(context.Response.OutputStream); } public bool IsReusable { get { return false; } } }
So now I wrote the icalendar to the Outputstream. Now I have a jquery post that goes to this method and now I am not sure how to take the OutputStream result that the jquery post will get and make it popup with a save dialog box.
I created a simple Http Module that starts a timer on the PreRequestHandler and stops the timer on the PostRequestHandler to calculate the time it took the page to load. I then create some simple html and write my results to Response.Write. Since I'm doing this in the PostRequestHandler it's adding my results after the </html> tag. That's fine for testing but I need in a scenario where the page needs to validate.
I can't seem to figure out how I could manipulate the Response object to insert my results before the </body> tag. Response.Write and Response.Output.Write don't have that flexibility and I couldn't see a way to work with the Response as a string. Am I missing something easy?
We're getting this weird exception when trying to create a BitmapDecoder off an ASP.Net response stream. This is the line of code that throws the exception:
BitmapDecoder dec = BitmapDecoder.Create( Request.Files[0].InputStream, BitmapCreateOptions.PreservePixelFormat, BitmapCacheOption.OnLoad);
Here's some info on the file being uploaded: Filename: bank statement.jpg, Content length: 266041, Mime type: image/jpeg
This is the exception stack trace:
System.IO.IOException: Cannot read from the stream. ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x88982F72): Exception from HRESULT: 0x88982F72 [code]...
Is is possible to update an image on an HTML page using the response stream of an ASP.NET Generic Handler? For example, if I have the following code on a handler: [URL]
How can I call the handler in jQuery, using .ajax, and set an image on the page equal to the image that is returned by the Handler? I am ignoring the query string variable at the moment as I just want to get this working. Secondly, if I can do above, how can I loop through all of DIVs on the page that are of class "content", select a guid out of a hidden field to use as my query string parameter, and update the associated image within the same content DIV tag? A content div tag would look as follows:
I would like to have all the images updated on a periodic interval, so essentially, as a quick recap, I would need to have: A loop through all of my DIVs of class "content", occuring every n. seconds. Extractation the GUID from the hidden field. A call to my ASHX handler to get the updated image. Set the returned image to the corrisponding image on the page. Is this something that would be difficult to achieve? If not, what would I need to do to make this function in the above manner?
Is is possible to write to the http response stream from a dynamically created bitmap using the Response.Write/WriteFile without saving the image to the hard drive?
I'm using .net 3.5 and am currently creating a web application used to generate a report through Aspose.CellsActually, the page is composed in a form where I get the configuration of the report I have to generate. The "generation" button is in an update panel. When I click on it, the "generation" button is hidden and a progress bar appears. When the excel file is generated, I save it in a memory stream and I send it back to the aspx page where I change the headers to allow the file's download.
After a call to initial HttpWebResponse.GetResponseStream() and reading through the stream, that stream is done for and cannot be reused.
I have a situation where I need to examine the content of the response and if it is of a certain data, get another page and then pass the new response down the line. Otherwise, pass down the original response as is. The only problem is that after examining the response to check for this "special data", that response is no good to the downstream code.
The only way, I can think of, to make this transparent to the downstream code, is to create a derived class of HttpWebResponse, and somehow cache the data streamed, and pass that cached stream down the line instead of the initial stream. I'm not sure if that's even feasible since I haven't looked into it further.
I am trying to use a custom ITempDataProvider provider to store TempData in a browser's cookie instead of session state. However, everything works fine except that I am unable to remove the cookie from the Response stream after reading it. The code exexutes fine but the cookie won't go away.
I am generating an Excel file upon a click of a button in an update panel. It is throwing a parsing error.
If I keep the button outside the update panel it is working fine. Why isn't it working in the update Panel?
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel" Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", String.Format("attachment;filename={0}", filename)) Response.Clear() Response.BinaryWrite(WriteToStream.GetBuffer) HttpContext.Current.ApplicationInstance.CompleteRequest() Private Function WriteToStream() As MemoryStream 'Write the stream data of workbook to the root directory Dim file As MemoryStream = New MemoryStream hssfworkbook.Write(file) Return file End Function
I have an ASP.NET page with a text status and a button to export an Excel file. When the user clicks the button, I want to generate the file on the fly and return it to the client as binary stream. Then I want to change the text status to show success/failure.
So far I can generate and send the file no problem, but obviously the statuses don't get displayed, since the server response was used to send the file and not a new updated page with the new status.
I'm not sure what's the cleanest way to approach this. I can think of something but is it the best way:
User clicks on button. File is generated and saved as a stream in the session. Statuses are updated and the page with the new statuses is returned to the client. A piece of Javascript on the page opens a 3rd party page which retrieves the saved stream from the session.
I changed an app so one of the edit screens opens as a pop-up window via showModalDialog. Previously everything was done in the same window and more back and forth navigation was required. The pop-up provides greater continuity. Unfortunately, as a pop-up, files will not stream to the desktop. If I bring up the page by entering a URL on the address line, so it is not a pop-up, files stream to the desktop OK.
Streaming a file to the desktop is done as follows:
[Code]....
This causes an open/save/cancel dialog to appear in the browser. Does anyone have an idea why a file cannot be streamed to a pop-up window? To get pop-ups to work I always include
[Code]....
in the header. That way I can open other pop-ups such as warnings and database error messages from a prvious pop-up.
I don't think there is a way around this but figured I'd ask... We have an application where a user can generate PDF documents that are streamed to the browser. There is some additional functionality going on behind the scene and I would like to be able to display a message to the user (via updating a literal tag on the page). I don't get any errors when doing this but the page isn't updated and the message isn't displayed. My guess is that streaming the document blocks any other content from going down to the client. In particular, we're using CeTe Dynamic PDF and calling one of their methods but I think it's essentially just doing a Response.BinaryWrite to stream out the PDF.
I have a web performance test which contains a request whose response is greater than 5MB, and the Extract Hidden Fields rule fails to find (necessary and required!) hidden fields in the response. Response header contains
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Transfer-Encoding : chunked Vary : Accept-Encoding, User-Agent Cache-Control : private Content-Type : text/plain; charset=utf-8 Date : Sat, 19 Feb 2011 15:24:38 GMT Server : Microsoft-IIS/6.0 X-AspNet-Version : 2.0.50727 X-Powered-By : ASP.NET
Other than that and the response size, there is nothing remarkable about this scenario. In fact, this same test succeeds when a smaller data set is used. I suspect the Web Performance Test framework is having issues parsing the "chunked" encoding or sheer volume of data. Ahem, how can I obtain these required hidden fields from my response? ie resolutions, work arounds, converting auto-extraction to manual, etc.
