Returning a downloadable file using a stream in asp.net web forms

Question

In asp.net MVC I can do something like the following which will open a stream:

 Stream strm1 = GenerateReport(Id);

return File(strm1, 
            \"applica         


        

Answer 1

Or if you have a stream ready to be written, simply copy it to response stream:

Response.Clear();
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet";
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename={your file name}");
Response.OutputStream.Write(stream, 0, stream.length);
Response.End();

Added same code just for visibility
