Question

How can I specify the filename when dumping data into the response stream?

Right now I’m doing the following:

byte[] data= GetFoo(); Response.Clear(); Response.Buffer = true; Response.ContentType = 'application/pdf';             Response.BinaryWrite(data); Response.End(); 

With the code above, I get ‘foo.aspx.pdf’ as the filename to save. I seem to remember being able to add a header to the response to specify the filename to save.

Answer 1

Add a content-disposition to the header:

Response.AddHeader('content-disposition', @'attachment;filename=''MyFile.pdf''');
