Uses of content-disposition in an HTTP response header

Question

I have found the following asp.net code to be very useful when serving files from a database:

Response.AppendHeader(\"content-disposition\", \"attachment; fi         


        

Answer 1

For asp.net users, the .NET framework provides a class to create a content disposition header: System.Net.Mime.ContentDisposition

Basic usage:

var cd = new System.Net.Mime.ContentDisposition();
cd.FileName = "myFile.txt";
cd.ModificationDate = DateTime.UtcNow;
cd.Size = 100;
Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition", cd.ToString());
