Responding with images and pdf files

[Gardar]

I'm creating a web service using ASP.net that needs to respond with pdf files
or images to HTTP-GET requests. I've searched extensively and not found any
documentation or examples.

What I'm expecting is to be able to set the content type to application/pdf,
or image/jpg (etc) and then just stream the content over to the client.

Thanks for you help.

Hi!

If you can fix the Objects themselves.. the Image or the PDF or whatever you
can always Serilize them and send over as a astring.. and then deserialize.
I guess!

You can serilalize any objects in .NET

Takk for svaret Lars:

Yes, I could, however then the response would not be application/pdf.

The client in this case is just a web-browser, since the bindings are just
HTTP-GET, the browser is receiving data it can render directly --- pdf,
images and style-ized XML

Solution is simple --- Once you know it

Use the "Context::Response" object to write out the file and application
type...

Thanks,
