Open file in another window (browser)

Question

Hi

I written code like below for open save dialog box in asp.net

FileStream fs;

String strFileName = @"D:\Sample.doc\";

fs = File.Open(strFileName, FileMode.Open);

Byte[] buffer = new byte[1048576];

long bytBytes = fs.Length;

fs.Read(buffer, 0, 1048576);

fs.Close();

Response.AddHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + strFileName);

Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream";

Response.BinaryWrite(buffer);

Response.End();

While click on open is opening in same window, but i want to open in another window or respective file format exe (means like in word, notepad, pdf etc)

Please suggest any idea.

Answer 1

If you want the file to be opened in the appropriate application,

Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream";

should have the right value like for .xls it is application/vnd.xls

Answer 2

or incase you want to open in another window fire the same code on javascript call rather than post back and use window.open method
