Display .DOC file in Varbinary

[GaryDean]

I'm storing Images and MSWord doc files in Varbinry columns. I have no
problem getting and displaying the images but I'm looking for the right
approach to allowing the user to download the MSWord doc in the varbinary.
I've provided download of .doc files from my own directories but never from
the file system or a varbinary.

Anyone know how to do that?

You should be able to use the techniques I've outlined here to dish out the
docs on demand:

Thanks Steve for your input.

Hi Gary,

As Steve's article shows, it's important to call Response.Clear() and
Response.End() at the begin and end; otherwise the downloaded file might
not have the correct data.

Let me know if you have further questions.
