Question

I have created a file with

XmlDocument xmldoc = new XmlDocument();

Can I make this file as downloadable? without saving it?

Answer 1

You could do something like:

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml(@"<xml>myxml</xml>");
Response.Clear();
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=MyXmlDocument.xml");
Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", doc.OuterXml.Length.ToString());
Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream";
Response.Write(doc.OuterXml);
