Docx File Doesn't Open In Browser With Content Disposition Inline In IE 8
Jul 2, 2010
I want to open docx file in IE from asp.net. The IIS has mime type correctly mapped. I can open pdf fine but docx will always prompt me to download like content-disposition='attachment'. Is there any setting to be done?
I am looking for a code which can display docx file inside browser in such a way that user will not be allowed to be download or save it. Again I Want to restrict the user to use that data.
I'm using Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + Server.HtmlEncode(FileName)); to pop a 'open/save file' dialog for the users, so that they can download an file on to their local machines.
This is working good normally in IE7,But on IE6 the file is not opening when user click on the open button in 'open/save file' dialog. I gone through the net and found that Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename="+Server.HtmlEncode(FileName)); should be provide to work that in IE6,and its works fine..
But the issue is most of the files that can open in browser opens on the page itself.. ie user on a mail page and click download an image file it opens there,, i need it to open in another window as in case of IE7 what can i do... other files that cannot open in bowser open with current application in system ie(word,excel etc)..
The Code i used is here....
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" +FileName); Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", file.Length.ToString()); Response.ContentType = ReturnExtension(file.Extension.ToLower()); Response.TransmitFile(file.FullName); Response.End(); private string ReturnExtension(string fileExtension) { switch (fileExtension) { case ".txt": return "text/plain"; case ".doc": return "application/ms-word"; case ".xls": return "application/vnd.ms-excel"; case ".gif": return "image/gif"; case ".jpg": case "jpeg": return "image/jpeg"; case ".bmp": return "image/bmp"; case ".wav": return "audio/wav"; case ".ppt": return "application/mspowerpoint"; case ".dwg": return "image/vnd.dwg"; default: return "application/octet-stream"; } }
how should I handle an exception that occurs after sending a Content-Disposition header for an attachment? I'm trying to generate a report at server and send it as a file, but if an exception occurs during the report generation, the error message itself is sent to browser which still takes it as a content of a file and shows a Save As dialog. User cannot know there was an error generating report, saves the file which is in wrong format now.Is there a way to cancel the response with this header and redirect to an error page? Or what else can I do to inform user about the error?
Probably I could generate the report first and only if there was no error send the headers, but I want the report render directly to the Response output stream so that it does not need to stay in memory.
My question is, when this opens up in the browser, it takes over the whole page. Is there a way to limit the height? The reason I'm asking is, I have three menu items above the page to open up a specific pdf. So if I click on one of the links to view that pdf, the pdf show up, but the links disappear because of the PDF.
I also don't want to use iframe to populate the PDF.
How to create and open a docx in client side's Word from asp.net application? and if i want the user to customize the document at their localend, then how can i do this?
I want to display a file content (HTML file) inside a web page using ASP. I'm trying to display 2 files and show the differences. So i need to color different rows. I tried with TextBox but i can not color a single row. Something like this but inside a browser. I should be able to easily navigate through rows. (like SetRowColor(rowNumber, color))
I'm new to asp.net and C# really, mostly just done windows apps in VB.net.
Also, trying to move from Crystal Reports to SSRS.
I found some code to render a SSRS report as a pdf. But this is saving the pdf locally. I have code that opens the report after it's saved, in the browser.
Rather than save the "results" locally, how to I go about just opening file in the browser. Code: results = rsExec.Render(format, deviceInfo, out extension, out encoding, out mimeType, out warnings, out streamIDs); [code]...
We have a tab delimited file that we are making available for download. The file extension is txt, but the users want it to open automatically in Excel. The previous developer had used the following code:
[code]....
The ContentType is being set to Excel, but that doesn't seem to have any effect. I am guessing the txt file extension is causing it to be picked up by notepad or the like instead. I have tried just renaming it to a xls extension, which works but Excel complains that I am trying to trick it or it might be a corrupted file.
i have an aspx page that loads and displays a text file in a broswer window and it used to work, I made no changes to it and now testing shows additional content appended below the file.
Here is the text file:
testing...
Here is what is displayed:
[Code]....
The additional output looks like the aspx page itself, which has only a close button incase the file load fails.
I have a mail list where i can select many mails and download (with/without opening the mail). During the download process i update the mail status(download/open) and show the content in pdf. In normal browser dialog opens where user can save open or cancel options exits. But if the user cancel then the update process done on the mail should not happen. so i think about doing the update process if the user clicks open or save but how can i identity that client control (i think it depend on the browser)
The issue is present if i download and unopened mail and click cancel button in the dialog box the pdf creation code i have done is in this link

which i used to open that dialog in browser to save pdf
There is a file with an extension .cert sitting on web server. when i tried to access it through URL, i couldn't open it and didn't give any error message also. I verified the file existence in that folder and also i could open it using notepad. Is there any MIME to be added to open this file?
I tried simple code like this using href element. But it tries to open the sheet.xls in the browser window and says it can't find the file. I want the excel file to be opened in excel (not browser).
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 ?
I have some xml data. I've made an asp.net soap based webservice that takes the xml as a byte buffer applies xsl transformation to it and converts it to a docx file. But when i return the docx file using the response object i get an error that client found response of type application/vnd-word but it was expecting text/xml.
Service Snippet to push document file after xsl transformation
I was doing a project involving posting a new job site. How do you upload a .docx file to the server, and then allow viewer to view it later on the web.
