Hello
I am trying to return the contents of an Excel file. However, I don't want to just redirect the request to the Excel file since it does not reside in a location where that is appropriate. I am trying to write the contents of the file to the response but am having trouble. My code resides in the handler for a link-button's click event
Response.ClearH eaders()
Response.ClearC ontent()
Response.Conten tType = "applicatio n/vnd.ms-excel"
Response.AddHea der("Content-Disposition", "attachment;fil ename=" + filename + ".XLS")
Response.WriteF ile(path)
Response.Flush( )
Response.End()
This almost works. When I run it, I get two dialog boxes asking if I want to open or save filename.xls. If I click 'Open' on both, Excel opens up (external from the browser) with the file in it. When I take out the "attachment " designation in the header, I only get 1 dialog box but, if I click 'Open', it ends up displaying the login page of my site in Excel within my browser --- I assume that it is failing some kind of security check or it is being interrpreted as an unauthenticated user at that point
What am I doing wrong? I don't like the two dialog boxes I receive with the code above (and I am sure one of them is resulting in the same behavior of returning the start-page which isn't so good). And, I would prefer that Excel open embedded in the browser instead of in stand-alone mode (although, at this point I would take either behvaior to avoid the second dialog box)
Thanks for any assistance!

Hi,
Yes, this problem has been mentioned in the newsgroup. And I've also
consult some experts and confirm t hat this is a known issue of IE. The
problem occurs when the request is send as "post" method, and not occur
when we use get method. Unfortunately the problem won't be fixed currently
and we need to wait the longhorn version. So I'm sorry for any
inconvenience brings to you who has suffer the issue. Thanks for your
understanding.
Regards,
Steven Cheng

I'd like to create/display an Excel spreadsheet from javascript. We
have an HTML page with results of a search and it can be reasonably
large.
The first attempt was to format the data into an HTML table and send
it to an ASP page. The ASP page has:
Response.AddHeader ("Content-Disposition", "inline");
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel");
Response.Write(formatted_html_data);

I have a dynamically generates ASPX page with tables and data.
Depending on user selection, the same page can be viewed as a simple
web page (rendered in HTML) or as an excel spreadsheet.
If the user chooses to view the page as an excel sheet, I attach the
following line of code in C# in the Page_Load method.
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel";
All this works fine. But some of cells read nvarchar fields from a

Hello folks,
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,...
