Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline;filename="Filename.pdf")
This result in a blank screen. Right-clicking on the form to view source for
curiosity show this message:
"The XML source file is unavailable for viewing" --But I have not added
anything XML-like to my form.
Note, I retrieve the pdf from a SQL server, using
"Response.BinaryWrite(FileByte)" as output.
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition",
"attachment;filename="Filename.pdf")
This causes the download box to appear. Ok for the moment, but not as
intended.
I just don't know why this happens. Maybe something in the @ page area or in
the html-header of the file?
Or in the settings of the browser?

Try adding this line:
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition",
"inline;filename="Filename.pdf");

I'm trying to display the pdf file directly in the client browser, but I
only get a download dialogue box. Downloading the file works fine, but I
want to view the PDF directly.
I get the same response with:
Response.ContentType="Application/X-unknown" which is more
understandable.
The Response.ContentType="Application/pdf" doesn't seem to tell the
browser that this actually is a PDF-file.
Mybe there is only a mistyping, but I shuld like a complete list of the
options for ContentType, like what phrase to use for all kind of files.
Anyone that knows where to find this?
(I have searched through help without finding a listing of all the
filetypes available)
