Hi,
I have 2 problems when downloading a file from my ASP.net app to the client
PC. At the moment I'm doing it with the following code:
Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream"
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" +
strFileToDownload)
Response.WriteFile(strFileToDownload)
The problems are:
1. How can I set the name of document to be downloaded? At the moment, the
name of file is by default set to be the name of the web form that it comes
from, which is far from ideal. to be able to call it, for example,
myFile.doc.
2. How can I try and force the save to be in a specific directory, or even
to default to the Windows temp directory, or to My Documents? At the moment,
the default target directory seems quite different on different machines.
All help very much appreciated.
