Downloading file

[M. Noroozi Eghbali]

Hi,

I need to download a file using OnClick event or Command of a ASP button. Is
there any possible code for this?

In ASPX file:
<ASP:Button id="button1" runat="server" text="Start Download"></ASP:Button>

In CS file:
private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
//some actions before downloading
//download file
}


Thank you,
Mehrdad

In the event handler, register some client side javascript to execute a
Window.Open(), specifying the file that you wish to download.

Hello M. Noroozi Eghbali,

Smth like below

Response.ContentType = "application\octet-stream";
string filename = "c:\\downloads\\hi.doc";
System.IO.FileStream downloadFile = new System.IO.FileStream(filename,
IO.FileMode.Open);
Response.Write(downloadFile.Length() & "#");
downloadFile.Close();
Response.WriteFile(filename);
Response.Flush();

If the file is available through the website, you can just use
Response.Redirect()
