Hi All,
I have an in-built tool to generate PDF Reports.
Once a PDF Report is generated, I have provided an option of "Viewing" the
PDF as well.
Now, once there is a large PDF being generated (say a PDF of 70 Pages or so)
and I try to "View" the PDF then it fails to do so.
The reason being, my code is actually trying to view a PDF File which is
still in the "building" stage and not a completely "built" PDF.
How do I programmaticall y put a delay into my code so that the process of
"Viewing" the PDF doesnot hang and show the PDF file successfully.
Here is what I have at present to "View" the PDF.
protected void lnkViewPdf_Clic k(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string jScript;
jScript = "<script>window .open('" +
Request.Applica tionPath.ToStri ng().ToLower() + stringPDFUrl +
"','','','' )</script>";
Page.RegisterCl ientScriptBlock ("keyClientBloc k", jScript);
lnkViewPdf.Visi ble = false;
}
Please help me how would I tweak the code so that there is a delay while
"Viewing the PDF" just after the PDF is generated.
Any leads on this would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance,
Kuldeep 2 1623
instead of opening the pdf directly, open an asp.net page that delays
until the pdf is built then redirects to it. if the wait is very long
(over a second or two), have the page do a meta refresh and display a
working... gif.

I've had similar issues in the past...
Does your PDF generation tool return a value when it finishes? How are you
calling it? Can it be configured to create a zero-byte file after it's
created the PDF?
jScript = "<script>window .open('" +
Request.Applica tionPath.ToStri ng().ToLower() + stringPDFUrl +
"','','','' )</script>";
Page.RegisterCl ientScriptBlock ("keyClientBloc k", jScript);
Also, since you're using ASP.NET 2, you should be using
ClientScript.Re gisterClientScr iptBlock, as Page.RegisterCl ientScriptBlock is
now obsolete: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...ck(VS.71).aspx http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/Sho...15280&SiteID=1
In addition, that has an additional boolean argument which you can set to
true so that it creates the <scripttags automatically.. .
If want to continue with the obsolete class, consider changing the first
line of the JavaScript to:
jScript = "<script type="text/javascript">win dow.open('" +
so that at least your code is standards compliant...
