Q: Response.Write

[JIM.H.]

Hello,
I use this:
Response.Redirect("/Files/myFile.xls") which is working fine but shows
address bar and I am trying to get rid of it.

So if I have the following, will this let me see excel file? If yes, can you
complete Response.Write?

Dim fileAndPath as string
fileAndPath = DD.SelectedItem.Value ‘ this has mFile.xls
‘Response.Redirect("/Files/� & fileAndPath) change this to ….
Response.Write(" <script> window.open(“???�) </script> ")
Thanks,
Jim.

I suggest you use the Response.WriteFile method instead.

I could not believe that this is really this difficult and takes this much
time. Response.WriteFile could not replace Response.Redirect unless you do
many other things.

Here is part of my code.

Response.Clear()
Response.ContentType = "Application/x-msexcel"
Response.WriteFile("D:\Files\myFile.xls")
Response.End()

This tries to open my main.aspx and ends up saying: the file referenced by
shortcut file “a file name in the temporary internet files folder� can not
be opened.
Any idea?
