content header??

Reply Contact

Hi ,

I do have a page in which I want to open an xml file in a button click. In the button click am opening an aspx page through JavaScript location.href(). In the aspx page am simply adding a file using an addheader method and using response.write am writing an XML string to that file. Like ...

Response.AddHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + FileName + ".xml");
Response.ContentType = "application/xml";
Response.Write(FileContent);

The problem is something like when am clicking the button in the main page the dialog window asking whether to Open, Save or Cancel is popping out, if am giving Open then the particular Xml file is been opened in the same page. I do want to open this particular Xml file in another blank window. Is this possible? If possible how can I do that?

Thanks in Advance.

End user can always check off the option "Always ask before opening this type of file" that is shown in the dialog box,from the next time the user will not able to see the dialogbox.You can let end user know of this by providing this message in the tool tip of the Button.Also you can set isballon property of tooltip to be true so that end users get notice of it.

Hope this helps you out.

Thanks and regards,

I believe you want:

Response.ContentType = " text /xml";

Truth,
