Question

I’ve created a word document generator in C sharp and I want that generated word document to be save in a specific place in the client. I’m looking for a similar functionality like FolderBrowserDialog in Windows Form. I’m using ASP.Net and I tried may solutions but still no luck. Anyone can help me.

Answer 1

try to use the HttpResponse in behind’s code:

like:

// Clear the content of the response
Response.ClearContent();    

// Add the file name and attachment, which will force the open/cancel/save dialog box to show, to the header
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + savedNameWithExtension);

// Add the file size into the response header
Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", myfile.Length.ToString());

// Set the ContentType
Response.ContentType = ReturnExtension(myfile.Extension.ToLower());

// Write the file into the response (TransmitFile is for ASP.NET 2.0. In ASP.NET 1.1 you have to use WriteFile instead)
Response.TransmitFile(myfile.FullName);

// End the response
Response.End();

This section of code will prompt the user to save the specified file on a certain location on his machine.

Hope this is clear.
