Create a temporary download link?

[Asaf]

Hi,

Is there a way to create a temporary download link and to know when the
client has finished downloading the file?

Thanks in advanced,

Asaf

I use the following technique for Web reporting.

Create the file with a GUID in the file name so thats its unique, and point
the link at it.

Every time someone uses that report I delete any other reports that are
older than 30 mins.

Thanks Josh for your help.

You could also stream the file content (using Response.WriteFile). This way
the file doesn't have to be at a reachable location plus you can still have
some code after streaming the file...

You'll have also to set the approprioate contenttype...
