Hi all,
I'm trying to fill a PDF form with asp.net using the FDF Toolkit.
I have a simple form with a textbox and a button. When the button is
clicked, the pdf should open with the field filled from the textbox.
When I open the page in IE (whatever version) i get :
################################################## ##########
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then
click the Refresh button, or try again later.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource
'http://sher-mail-temp/e-swita/trythis.aspx'. Li...
################################################## ##########
Here is the trythis.aspx code
<%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Codebehind="trythis.aspx.vb"
Inherits="e_swita.trythis"%>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<title>trythis</title>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 7.1">

<asp:Button id="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button"></asp:Button></P>
<P> </P>
</form>
</body>
</HTML>
and the codebehind trythis.aspx.vb :
Public Class trythis
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
#Region " Web Form Designer Generated Code "
'This call is required by the Web Form Designer.
<System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThrough()> Private Sub
InitializeComponent()
End Sub
Protected WithEvents TextBox1 As System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox
Protected WithEvents Button1 As System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button
'NOTE: The following placeholder declaration is required by the Web Form
Designer.
'Do not delete or move it.
Private designerPlaceholderDeclaration As System.Object
Private Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Init
'CODEGEN: This method call is required by the Web Form Designer
'Do not modify it using the code editor.
InitializeComponent()
End Sub
#End Region
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'Put user code to initialize the page here
End Sub
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
'Put user code to initialize the page here
Dim FdfAcX As FDFACXLib.FdfApp
FdfAcX = New FDFACXLib.FdfApp
Dim outputFDF = FdfAcX.FDFCreate()
outputFDF.FDFSetFile("http://sher-mail-temp/e-swita/test2.pdf")
outputFDF.FDFSetValue("testfield", "test", False)
HttpContext.Current.Response.Clear()
HttpContext.Current.Response.ClearContent()
HttpContext.Current.Response.ClearHeaders()
HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.fdf"
HttpContext.Current.Response.BinaryWrite(outputFDF .FDFSaveToBuf)
outputFDF.FDFClose()
End Sub
End Class
Now what I tried is delete all the HTML except the <%@ Page Language="vb"
.....%> in trythis.aspx and guess what, there's the pdf file.
This proves that my MIME settings are ok, right?
So, is this a bug in the .Net framework ?
Anybody has an idea how this can be solved ?
Many thanks in advance,
Eric
