Hi,
My issue is twofold.
1) How do I invoke a "save file" action when a user clicks a button.
In classic ASP, I used to response.redire ct to file path. But I want
to keep the user on the same page they clicked "Download" button.
2) How do I force to prompt for a save file when the user clicks the button
rather than try to open and read the file in the browser, which is the
default action.
Thanks,
Do

This may do what you want (here file names for download are listed in a
radio button list)
Dim filepath As String
Dim filename As String
If Me.RadioButtonL ist1.SelectedIn dex <> -1 Then
filename =
Me.RadioButtonL ist1.Items(Me.R adioButtonList1 .SelectedIndex) .Text
filepath = Server.MapPath( ".") & "\downloads \" & filename
Else
Exit Sub
End If
Response.Clear( )
Response.Conten tType = "applicatio n/octet-stream"
Response.AddHea der("Content-Disposition", _
"attachment ; filename=""" & filename & """")
Response.WriteF ile(filepath)

Hello,
I have a page that generates a text file (but writes the file with
the ".csv" extension) and then I redirect the user so he can save the
file
header("Location: $my_csv_file");
However, the file appears as text in the browser and I would prefer
that the gray "Download this file" box pop up. How could I pull this
off, or is this really more dependent on client browser settings?

I have an html file where I display name,address,zip. It is one per line so
it is basicall a list of addresses.
But I would like ie6 to force the download prompt of this long list of names
instead of displaying it to their browsers. This way they can save the list
to a file. I know I can set it up as a txt file and let them download it
that way, but right now this file is generated from a source program which I
have no control over...

Hi,
I have a problem that I have been working with for a while.
I need to be able from server side (asp.net) to detect that the file i'm
streaming down to the client is saved completely/succsessfully on the
client's computer before updating some metadata on the server (file
downloaded date for instance)
However,
All examples i have tried, and all examples I have found that other people
says works - doesn't work for me :-(

Ok, I know this sounds odd. Let me explain further.
I have an ASP.net page (w/ C# code behind) that, when given a session
variable containing the path to a local file, will attempt to start the
download of that file for the user.
Here's the content of my Page_Load:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

Hi all,
We'd like to take advantage of code we already have for transforming
XML into HTML (using XSLT) for our users to save the HTML as an MS Word
document locally. I've dug around and found the following code to
include in the code behind:
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-word"
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition",
"inline;filename=someFile.doc")

guys,
in my web app, i have a simple download button and a href which points
to a file on my server, when the user clicks on the button or the
link, the file should simply be downloaded to the users machine. now
this file is a postgres backup file with the .backup extension.
now when i use the button, in FF the file download button pops up and
i can save the file, i can also right click the href and go save link
as. and it works fine.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
