I have a sql database that stores some documents. A user can sign into the application, and view a list of their documents. When clicking a linkbutton download in a gridview of their docs, I get the file from the database, write it to the file system, and then execute this code. System.IO.FileInfo file = new System.IO.FileInfo(Sys...
I am being asked to make a "download" button that downloads the contents of a textarea on the same page as a file, with the browser's "Save As" dialog showing up. Copy/paste would do the job just fine, but it is a "requirement". Right now, I am just posting the contents of the textarea to the server, which echos them back with "Content-...
My subject line says most of what I'm asking. I've got a web site that outputs reports in various formats (HTML, CSV, TSV, Excel, etc). Whenever possible, I'd like these files to be shown in the browser. To that end, I've set up my headers so that "Content-Disposition" is "inline". This works very inconsistently with different file t...
I have a interesting problem that I think is server related. I want CSV data to be saved as a CSV file when a user clicks a button. It works fine on my development server, but on the production it just echo's the content to the page. My guess is that it must be a server issue, but I'm really not sure what it could be. Can GZIP affect...

I have found the following asp.net code to be very useful when serving files from a database: Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + fileName); This lets the user save the file to their computer and then decide how to use it, instead of the browser trying to use the file. What other things can be done ...

I am working on a Web Service where the user would input parameters and have the option of have the data returned in various file formats (xml, html (on screen), csv, etc.). If the server generates the file content (and therefor there is no actual file), then returning a URL to the file is not an option. So how can this be done? I kno...
