I think..! You Have to Specify the Content type And try to display THt.

For Image

byte[] arrContent = null;
       //dr["Photo"] is Byte Content
     arrContent = (byte[])dr["photo"];
     int length = arrContent.Length;
     Response.ContentType = "image/JPEG";
     if (length!=0)
     Response.OutputStream.Write(arrContent, 0,length);
     Response.End();

or
Any File You have zip it and give them a download option..! Cool | :cool:

The Response.End() method causes the Web server to stop processing for further request .

That is not true. All it does is stop execution of page and return the buffered output. It doesn't affect further requests.

Yes, I want to mean that only. "Stop Processing of Further Request". Poke tongue | ;-P

. And it is understandable that it will return the buffer out put as he is writting it on output stream !!

u can use this code piece for it.

Response.Buffer = true;
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=" + strFileName);
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"; // place actual application type here.
Response.Charset = "utf-8";
Response.BinaryWrite(xByte);
Response.End()

;

this code piece will present a open/save/cancel dialog.

Hey nisha

So u are allowing users to download file that is uploaded by themselves. In this case there are two possibilities , either u are storing the file at hard disk or in database.

CASE 1 Saving File At HARD DISK
In this u can identify the Application type via file type. I means whether it's a pdf , doc, txt, xls or .jpg. Just put a Switch case over there and do a dance of joy.

CASE 2 Saving File Content in DATABASE
In this case u need to store the Application type in the database while adding record for that file. Again u have a file type so get the Application type using switch case.

Setting value of HiddentField server side while using UpdatePanel

Ramon Enachescu30-Sep-09 16:34

Ramon Enachescu

30-Sep-09 16:34

Hi all!

I looked and I searched and I came out empty... I am trying to do what should be a straightfoward task: update the value of a HiddenField and use that client side in a script. Here is the scenario:

- User goes to a page that has a Cancel button
- If the user changes anything at all on the page (adds items to a grid, changes textfields, etc.) I want the Cancel button to return a confirmation ("Are you sure you want to continue? Your changes will be lost.")

The elements on the page (textboxes, grid, etc) are all in an AJAX UpdatePanel. The Cancel button calls a javascript function which checks the value of a HiddenField to figure out whether to display the confirmation or not.

So, here's what I have so far:

My Cancel button:

<asp:ImageButton ImageUrl="~/images/ButtonCancel.png" style="float:right" OnClientClick="return RequestMessage();"
                            ID="btnCancel" CssClass="button" runat="server" OnClick="btnCancel_Click" 
                            CausesValidation="False" />

The javascript function behind the OnClick event:

<script type="text/javascript">
      function RequestMessage()
      {
        if($get("ctl00_BodyPH_ConfirmationMsg").value=="true")
        {
            return confirm('Are you sure you want to continue? Your changes will be lost.')
        }
        else
            return true;
      }
    </script>

The HiddenField is defined inside the UpdatePanel:

<asp:HiddenField runat="server" ID="ConfirmationMsg" Value="true" />

And it is registered in the protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer) event:

ScriptManager.RegisterHiddenField(this.Page, ConfirmationMsg.ClientID, "false");

When I look at the code generated on the client side the HiddenField seems to be correctly registered as such:

<input type="hidden" name="ctl00_BodyPH_ConfirmationMsg" id="ctl00_BodyPH_ConfirmationMsg" value="false" />

So everything is good so far. The problem comes when I try to change the value of the HiddenField from various events, such as a simple TextBox_TextChanged event:

protected void txtCustomerID_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    ConfirmationMsg.Value = "true";
    loadCustomerInfo(false);
}

The event fires but the value for the HiddenField never changes client side, it always stays "false". How can I updated this value throughout the code so that the confirmation will show correctly?? Or am I going about this the wrong way? Is there a better way of achieving the same task another way?

Thanks very much for any insight into this!

IMO, server side events should not be used like you did. This can be achieved with a client side script. Hook JS OnChange event handler to the text box and change the hidden text box value inside that.

If you are handling this on client side, you don't even need a hidden text box. A JS variable declared in a script block should do the trick. It acts as a public variable available to the whole page. When text changes, just set the value into this variable.

Ramon Enachescu wrote:
if($get("ctl00_BodyPH_ConfirmationMsg").value=="true")

This is bad. You should not hard code client id into the code. Either use ClientId property of the control or $get("ConfirmationMsg", parent_control_id).

Thanks Navaneeth,

The reason I went with the server side event is that I have to update this flag from many places, so instead of writing JS for a whole bunch of events (text changed, button clicks, grid events [adding/deleting/updating], etc) I'd rather just set a tiny little flag when I need to Smile | :)

. I can't be the first one looking for functionality like this...

And yes sir, no hardcoding, that's there cause I'm still trying out things and this is by no means final code but thanks for noticing Smile | :)

wrap string in a gridview column

In my gridView table
Column 'Issue' has a long string (i.e: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
how can i wrap it so it wont expand my table, or squeez down other columns?

i had tried ItemStyle Wrap="true", but it doesn't work

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
