This code makes the the download dialogue open for the file I want downloaded .
Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream"
Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" & FileName)
Response.TransmitFile(Server.MapPath("~/Admin/EmailLists/" & FileName))
Response.End()
After the download dialogue opens I need a series of changes to happen on the page, but I have noticed all the code after this code will not run. Anyone know how I can make the page changes occur AND get the download dialogue to pop up?

I want to download thousands of files from the web and save them locally. What is the most efficient way? It is important the failures timeout within 10 seconds.
Is there a better way to stream one stream into another? Maybe a smaller buffer, like 1024 bytes at a time, is more efficient for large files?

I have a VB.NET form that takes up the whole screen. On Windows XP, the taskbar is not displayed when moving the mouse to the bottom of the screen. I have auto-hide set, and the taskbar is not locked. I tried the same thing on a Vista computer and it works fine. What am I missing on Windows XP? I need the auto-hide feature to work for my app like it does for other Windows apps.
View 1 RepliesI added an splash screen to my app. Then in the project settings I selected it to be used for the splash screen. Now my app won't close when I try to exit my app. I have 'When Last Form Closes' selected for the shutdown mode. So I'm guessing the splash screen is calling Hide() instead of Close(). I can't find a way to get access to the splash screen object so I can try callling Close().

I have created a custom combo that automatically drops when the combo receives focus. When the user uses the mouse to click on another control or the Windows Form the combo list is undropped but the click on the other control is never fired. Is there a way to avoid what appears to the user as a need to double click?
I use the 'TransparencyKey' feature on my form to make a 'Panel' control transparent so i can see a program thats running underneath my form. If i try and do a screen grab (Capture a picture) of my form it only grabs a image of the background of my desktop and the program below and not my form.
If i use the normal Windows 'PrtScrn' key to grab a still image it manages to capture my form and underlying programs fine. This appears to be a limitation of transparencykey because as soon as you disable/remove it the screen grab works fine on the form. how to resolve this problem as removing the 'TransparencyKey' feature is not a option as i require this for my program
see the attached image for a better description of the problem
Image on 'Left' shows the transparent window viewing the desktop and program beneath. Image on the right shows the captured image and it completely missing the form and transparent window from the shot.

View 6 RepliesI am writing a Windows Form program to automatically download and store generated PDF reports from a web site using the WebBrowser Control. The web site uses Ajax to link an icon back to the source aspx file which then returns a PDF file.
The problem I have is that the WebBrowser control brings up the File Save As dialog box when the PDF file is returned and I can find no way of handling this to cature and save the returned file. I have found other examples of how to manage this using the Navagating event to validate the extension of the file that is being accessed (e.g. [URL] and, if not an HTM, file then use the HTTP Web control to directly download the file. Unfortunately this will not work as the call references a .aspx page.

View 13 RepliesI'm looking for a way to (easily, by preference ;)) create a download link to a file on a separate file server.The situation is as follows: the application I'm developing (asp.net 2.0 in vb.net but I have a similar issue in c#, either solution works for me) will be run internally for a company.As is good practice, the file storage and web application are on two separate servers.I basically need to be able to create a download link to a file, the only available URL i have to access the file is servernamefolder1folder2folder3file.txt (can be any sort of file)[code]Which doesn't work for obvious reasons. It used to be set up to write that file to the application path itself and that worked perfectly, but it isn't good practice and that's why I'm changing it (or trying to).I read solutions about creating a download page and then having a table in your DB which holds the links and returns the proper web URL for download but the time constraint I am faced with unfortunately doesn't allow me to develop that.
Assuming I can provide a string with the full filepath to the file like the above, what is the easiest way to just create a link that, when clicked, downloads the document? I have 0 admin rights in this environment. That really isn't helping me. Let's assume I am given the correct link like above and have the appropriate file access rights and such.The above example does work in IE, but not in Firefox and Chrome. IE converts it to a file://servername/... link which does what it's supposed to, but FF and Chrome both actively decided that this is unsafe and have disabled it from their browsers.
