File download issues

[Guest]

I have seen other messages about this so I am asking something that is in
addition to those answers. I have been able to get a file dialog to come up
and for me to download files but it downloads the text file with the webpage
appended to the end, is that b/c I didnt put response.end after the
information was added?

Also - this is really an access issue but it is only happeneing in this
situation - I am able to write the textfile out but when I go to download it
- it suddenly started giving me an UnauthorizedAccessException - saying
"Access to path "c:\" is denied". I am using C: as a development location
but it worked fine up until about 45 minutes ago.

Thanks,
Cleako

Hi Cleako,

The reason the HTML code is being appended is because the page continues
the rest of its lifecycle after you do the postback that triggers the download.
I've found that Response.End causes some problems in ASP.NET (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/312629/EN-US/).
Setting Response.SuppressContent = true after the download has always worked
for me.

Best,
