Rename File

Hello,

I want to make a file available to a user for download on an ASP.NET
page.
So I need to have a button that when clicked, the file is download.
However, before the file is downloaded, I want it to be renamed so the
file name that the users gets is different that the one in the server.
The extension will be the same.

Any idea of how to do this?

Thanks,
Miguel

Hello shapper,

instead of putting direct link to file on webform, put the linkButton and
in the codebehind read your file as stream and send it to user
in this case u can send is with any name

You will have to write your own aspx that streams file to the browser
and append following line to header
Content-disposition: attachment; filename=fname. ext

Hi, I’ve written a c# program to compact certain msaccess databases. The way this works is to compact say C:\test1.mdb to C:\temp.mdb, then delete C:\test1.mdb and rename C:\temp.mdb as C:\test1.mdb. My problem occurs if there is already a C:\temp.mdb file. I don’t want to just delete this, as it could have been created separately by a user. In my code, I set a constant as follows: private const string tempMdb = @"C:\temp.mdb";

I've been having the following issue with a windows service I've created in vb.net (.net fw 1.1): Basically, my service monitors a folder for the creation of any new files of a particular type and renames them using the "Rename(oldfilename,newfilename)" function. Unfortunately, this function only seems to work if and only if it is preceeded by a 'msgbox("<some text>")'. ie. If I have the following the service sees the file

On Windows, if I do os.rename(old, new) where old is a file that is in-use (e.g. python itself, or a dll that is loaded), I would expect that an error would be raised (e.g. as when os.remove is called with an in-use file). However, what happens is that a copy of the file is made, and the old file still exists. For example: C:\>c:\python24\python.exe Python 2.4.2 (#67, Sep 28 2005, 12:41:11) on win32

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,...
