delete file after the download completes

3 New Member
I have written a web form which downloads files to the
client automatically. After the download completes, I
would like to delete the file that was downloaded. I
can't tell how to wait until the download has completed to
delete the file, if I run the File.Delete(fil epath)
command after Response.WriteF ile(filepath), the file is
deleted before it can be downloaded.

Any suggestions?

How do they do that without the classic "Headers already sent" error?

What I'm missing is knowing when the download is complete so I can update the database to show the file successfully completed its download....

I'm hoping someone can help with this problem; I've seen only a handful of postings related to it, but with no clear resolution. I have an ASP.NET 1.1 page that downloads requested files via the "Response.BinaryWrite(...)" method. The problem is that the page is dynamically built, and after the download completes all javascript functions suddenly break or exhibit unpredictable behavior. I've traced the issue down the use of the...
