Downloading files stored in image column of database...

Hi:

My asp.net application has capability to upload documents (doc, ppt, txt
ect.) in binary format into an image field of a SQL Server database. I
would also like my application to be able to download selected documents
from database to users hard drive. I don't want to open doc in browser,
just download file. How do I do this?

Thanks,
Charlie

Hi Charlie,

This is not related specifically to ASP.NET. You need to properly feed some
HTTP headers (ContentDisposition, etc). Do a quick search on
groups.google.com with "asp.net contentdisposition" and I'm sure you'll find
tons of examples.
