Allowing user to download from my site through Response.WriteFile()

Question

I am trying to programatically download a file through clicking a link, on my site (it\'s a .doc file sitting on my web server). This is my code:

string File         


        

Answer 1

Rather than having a button click event handler you could have a download.aspx page that you could link to instead.

This page could then have your code in the page load event. Also add Response.Clear(); before your Response.ContentType = "Application/msword"; line and also add Response.End(); after your Response.WriteFile(fileInfo.FullName); line.
