Hi guys
Need some help with an problem thats bugging me..
I have to open a .pdf file at the client side when the user clicks a button..
Opening is not a problem.. I am able to do it using the following code
which is executed when the user clicks on the button
MyFileStream = New FileStream("E:\MyWork\Test\DownloadFiles\Reports\Rpt.pdf", FileMode.Open)
FileSize = MyFileStream.Length
Dim Buffer(CType(FileSize, Integer)) As Byte
MyFileStream.Read(Buffer, 0, CType(MyFileStream.Length, Integer))
MyFileStream.Close()
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=MyReport.PDF")
Response.BinaryWrite(Buffer)
The problem is that the user first sees a 'Open/ Save / Cancel' dialog box. Only when the user clicks on 'Open' does the .pdf file get opened.
My client wants it to be opened directly when the button is clicked.
Am at a loss and any help will be appreciated...
Thanks in advance
