Hello experts,
I tried to implement file download for asp.net.
In my download function:
I inserted this,
' Source of this method: DownloadFile - Send a file to the client browser
Somehow when i run, it will prompt the message "property evaluation failed' after the line 'response.end()'. however if i press 'f5' to continue, the correct file will still be able to download.
Any advice why it is complaining the error on response.end function? and if i comment out this line,i will have no error message, still able to download file as normal.
Another problem that i have is, the download page. download.aspx will not close automatically..any advice?
thanks,
onizuka
I tried to implement file download for asp.net.
In my download function:
I inserted this,
' Source of this method: DownloadFile - Send a file to the client browser
VB.NET:
' clear the current output content from the buffer
Response.Clear()
' add the header that specifies the default filename for the Download/
' SaveAs dialog
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" & Filename)
' add the header that specifies the file size, so that the browser
' can show the download progress
Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", Contents.Length.ToString)
' specify that the response is a stream that cannot be read by the
' client and must be downloaded
Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream"
' send the file stream to the client
Response.OutputStream.Write(Contents, 0, Contents.Length)
' stop the execution of this page
Response.End()
Somehow when i run, it will prompt the message "property evaluation failed' after the line 'response.end()'. however if i press 'f5' to continue, the correct file will still be able to download.
