Re: Stream pdf to browser

Thanks Steven!
That works the problem seems to be in:

Response.AddHeader("content-disposition",
"attachment;filename=YourReport.pdf")

If it is set to "inline" that's causing the problem, but is there a way to
turn off the save as prompt so the file automatically opens?

Hi Rick,

Will it work if you directly access that separate aspx page to display the
pdf document?

Also, you can use Response.End instead of Flush to close the response
stream. Here is the test page code I used which work correctly on my side.
You can also have a test against it:


========================
Partial Class vb_FilePage
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

RenderFile()

End Sub

Protected Sub RenderFile()

Dim filename As String
filename = Request.QueryString("fn")

Dim buffer As Byte()

buffer = GetPDFBuffer(filename)

Response.ClearHeaders()
Response.ClearContent()


Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition",
"attachment;filename=YourReport.pdf")

Response.End()

End Sub


End Class
===============================
