Can I Response.Redirect to a pdf file on my c: drive?

[Dave]

I have a Crystal reports export that throws the exported pdf file into a
folder c:\reports. The export works fine, but now I need to redirect the
user to that report. Can you please tell me how I can do that?

Thanks,

-Dave

This code works perfectly for me:



Response.ContentType="application/pdf";

Response.AddHeader( "content-disposition","attachment; filename=filename);

FileStream sourceFile = new FileStream("C:\\PDFs\\" + filename,
FileMode.Open);

long FileSize;

FileSize = sourceFile.Length;

byte[] getContent = new byte[(int)FileSize];

sourceFile.Read(getContent, 0, (int)sourceFile.Length);

sourceFile.Close();

Response.BinaryWrite(getContent);
