Save report files without loading the rdlc on UI

Question

User1053054417 posted

When report has large amount of data, the UI freezes when loading the rdlc.

As an alternative, I am trying to not load the RDLC on UI, but prompt user to save it .

How can this be done?

Have a look at this, it should do what you need it to:

I am able to save the file directly, however after the line response.end , I cannot perform any other action on the site. If I do the download button click or any other action, nothing happens. I want the site to perform as before the file download without having to refresh the browser or clicking the back button.

Try using Response.Flush() instead of Response.End()

Both methods flush the buffer contents to the user, but Flush will just send the data, where as End will end the Response.

Response.flush () has the same behaviour. The next line of code is not executing.

Hi,

Try to load the report inside a iFrame. 

Thank you.
