Opening the files in an modless window.

Hi All,

I am uploading a file with extension (.xls/.doc/.pdf) in my aspx page with in my application.

i have one option for downloading the file with download button.when i click the button it opens with a modless window with options(open,save, cancel).

i have another option for viewing the file with hypelink.when i click the hyperlink it opens with a modless window with options(save, cancel).The file type is shown as unknown file. The required one is the modless window has to get with options(open,save,cancel)

let me know.

thanks.

Have a look at the following articles, especially the 3rd link:

1-Downloading Files in ASP.NET

2-Build Smarter ASP.NET File Downloading Into Your Web Applications

3-Downloading a File with a Save As Dialog in ASP.NET

Hope this helps,

the file types are (.xls/doc/txt)

Response.ContentType = "application/" & FileExt

Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream"

Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" & FileNameOnly)

Response.WriteFile(iFileNname, False)

Response.End()
