Question

In my .aspx:

public static void DoStuff(XmlDocument doc)
    {

    HttpResponse response = HttpContext.Current.Response;

        string xmlString = doc.InnerXml;

        string fileName = "ExportedForm.xml";

        response.StatusCode = 200;

        response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + fileName);
        response.AddHeader("Content-Transfer-Encoding", "binary");
       // response.AddHeader("Content-Length", _Buffer.Length.ToString());

        response.ContentType = "application-download";
        response.Write(xmlString);
}

in my handler.ashx:

private void GenerateXml()
    {

        var JsonXmlData = HttpContext.Current.Request["objectToSend"];

        XmlDocument doc = JsonConvert.DeserializeXmlNode(JsonXmlData);

        SystemAuditView.DoStuff(doc); //systemauditview is the .aspx
    }

If i call the DoStuff method from a click event it works. But when i call it from code behind, nothing happens. I suppose i somehow need to trigger a postback? Or whats the problem here? Thanks

Answer 1

Try creating object for SystemAuditView and then try to access DoStuff method.

Since DoStuff is a common method you should put this code in App_Code folder.
