I have word document which is opening perfectly at server but when i download it using button click event of my website it gets currept. i am using below code on button click to make document download. please help to resolve this problem: i am using .net framework 3.5
Response.Clear();
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=StandardLetter" + _responseId.ToString() + ".doc");
Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream";
Response.TransmitFile (Server.MapPath("~/document/letter/StandardLetter" + _responseId.ToString() + ".doc"));
Ok well here is the code I use, it's vb but easily converted ;)
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
Dim byteArray As Byte() = File.ReadAllBytes(MergedFile)
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=""" & ShortFilename & """")
Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", byteArray.Length)
Response.BinaryWrite(byteArray)
Response.Flush()
Response.End()
This works for PDF and by changing .ContentType to Excel spits that out too.. So I assume this will take any MIME type. Good luck!
I take my pdf document called MergedFile and convert it to a byte(), I give it a 'ShortName' that can be entered by the user. Content-Length is very important..
