File download and spanish characters like "ñ"

[Carolina]

Hi!

I have this C# code in a Button_Click event procedure:

string FilePath = MapPath("diseño.doc");
Response.ContentType = "Application/msword";
Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=" +
"diseño.doc");
Response.WriteFile(FilePath);
Response.Flush();
Response.End();

The file name ("diseño.doc") contains the spanish character "ñ"
[ALT][164]
When the button is clicked, the download dialog box appears, but the
name of the file is shown as "diseño.doc".

The file is successfully downloaded to the client machine, but it
seems like Response.AppendHeader doesn't support other non-us
characters like "ñ","á", "é", "í", etc., so these characters are
changed for characters like these: ñ ño

Does anybody know how to solve this problem?

I would appreciate any help!!!
Thank you!

Can you URLEncode/HTMLEncode the filename? That should turn it into
something like dise%164;no.doc (except it'd be hexidecimal).

I don't know about browser compatibility on that one.

Thank you for your help!

I made this change and it works:

Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=" +
Server.UrlEncode("diseño.doc").Replace("+","%20")) ;

HTMLEncode converts spaces to %20 and URLEncode converts spaces to +. You
kind of have a combination going on there. No problem as long as it works.

I have ever been found this problem too and I fix the problem with filename
like your suggestion but it still have other problem that is if you click
"open" when the download dialog box is pop up the filename will not decode to
the original but if you click "save" every thing is find.

Could anyone please help me to solve the problem when click "open"?
Thanks.
