Question

in asp.net, after creating a reportDocument, I would like to save it as a pdf report without showing it. In other words, I would like to show a response that the user chooses to save it:

ReportDocument reportdoc = new ReportDocument();

reportdoc.Load(Server.MapPath("CrystalReporttest.rpt"));
reportdoc.ExportToHttpResponse(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, Response, false, "test123.pdf");

So far, I have tried it like this and it shows the pdf report rather than ask for “save it”.

It is a directly way to do so in asp.net?

Thanks in advance.

I found the answer,

it is like this:

reportdoc.ExportToHttpResponse(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, Response, true, “test123.pdf”);

Stupid me!
