In my application i am using one ashx handler for download ppt, In that i will create one screen shot(current screen as image) and pass that image name to one handler(ashx) from jquery. But am unable to track the downloading status.
If there is any way to return response from that handler to jquery. that is i want to know when that downloading will finish.
my current scenario is like this
jquery will generate one base64 string and pass that string to code behind by ajax call to convert that to image and save that image in one location
on the success call of that ajax request it will get that image name and pass that image name to handler
I am calling that handler by using "window.location.href"
my code
Ajax call for saving the image
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: AQ.AMT.Url + "/Home/StoreImage",
//async: false,
data: "{'base64':'" + base64 + "'}",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: function (Data) {
window.location.href = "~/Download/Export.ashx?Type=PPT&downloadToken=" + Data.Result + "&Summary=" + summaryText + "&Note=" + noteText + "&Name=" + name + "&Sample=" + sampleSize + "&SampleColor=" + sampleColor + "&pptType=" + pptType + "&flipName=" + flipName;
//here i need some response
},
error: function (e) {
}
});
Handler code for downloading the ppt
public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
{
DownloadPPT(context);
}
public void DownloadPPT(HttpContext context)
{
//here i will take all parameters
try{
//downloading the ppt
saveFile(pres, "" + name + "-" + FlipName + "-" + System.DateTime.Today.ToLongDateString());//ppt name
}
catch{
}
finally
{
//after ppt download i am deleting that screenshot
if (File.Exists(path))
File.Delete(path);
}
}
I got one solution for this,Instead of using handler for downloading the files i used ajax and jquery. in this in code behind i will create the ppt and save the ppt in some folder and i will pass that name to ajax response and use anchor tag to enable the download in client side itself.
