Downloading files in ASP
Hi I am trying to add a download facility to my web application. It was working ok until today but for some reason it is downloading the file name only instead of the file contents. i.e. when I open the file it only has the file name in it.I would really appreciate any help with this
Here is my code.
Private Sub DownloadFile(ByVal fname As String)
Dim path As System.IO.Path
Dim forceDownload As Boolean
forceDownload = True
Dim fullpath = path.GetFullPath(fname)
Dim name = path.GetFileName(fullpath)
Dim ext = path.GetExtension(fullpath )
Dim type As String = ""
If Not IsDBNull(ext) Then
ext = LCase(ext)
End If
Select Case ext
Case ".htm", ".html"
type = "text/HTML"
Case ".txt"
type = "text/plain"
Case ".doc", ".rtf"
type = "Application/msword"
Case ".csv", ".xls"
type = "Application/x-msexcel"
Case Else
type = "text/plain"
End Select
If (forceDownload) Then
Response.Clear()
Response.AddHeader("conten t-disposit ion", "attachment; filename=" & name)
End If
If type <> "" Then
Response.ContentType = type
End If
Response.Write(fullpath)
Response.End()
end sub
