The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Streaming a dynamically created (from ASP.NET ) xml file (using memorystream) to let the client application pick it up automatically...

Asked by kdiederi in Programming for ASP.NET, Microsoft Windows Operating Systems

Guys,

I have a client tool which runs and accepts files with "amt"
extensions.   All the "amt" files have been setup to open using my
client tool which works great when I double-click on the file in the
windows explorer.

The way I'm creating the file is completely dynamic depending on the
user's options.  Once this memory stream has been created, I'm
rendering on the screen.


This is where the problem is: The user sees the usual dialog which
says,


===========================================
'Some files can harm your computer, If the file information below
looks suspicious, or you do not fully trust the source, do not open or
save this file.


Filename: commands.amt


File Type: XYZ Company's Document Handler


From: localhost


Would you like to open the file or save it to your computer?'


[OPEN]                [SAVE]                [CANCEL]
[More Info]
=============================================


This is the problem.  I don't want to let the user click 'Open' every
time this happens and this happens quite a number of times in a day.


QUESTION:
----------------
How can I let my client tool pickup my "amt" file automatically
without the user having to click 'Open' every time?


I'm also including the different solutions I tried.


-=================================BEGIN==============================
        public void StreamMemoryStreamToClient(MemoryStream ms)
        {
            if (ms == null)
                return;


            //myPage.Response.ClearHeaders();
            //myPage.Response.ContentType = "application/amt";
            myPage.Response.Clear();
            //myPage.Response.OutputStream.Write(ms.GetBuffer(), 0,
ms.GetBuffer().Length);
            myPage.Response.AddHeader("content-disposition",
"attachment; filename=commands.amt");
            myPage.Response.BinaryWrite(ms.GetBuffer());
            //string newWindowScript = "<script language=JavaScript> "
+ script + " </script>";
            myPage.Response.End();
        }
-=================================END==============================
Environment: ASP.NET 2.0, windows client tool, IIS 5.0, Windows 2000.

I might be in the right direction if I start using 'EditFlags'.  If so, could someone help me how to do this using a 'Setup' project?

Thanks for the help!
