Downloading data and save in a zip file (ASP.NET program)

[bienwell]

Hi,

I'd like to do downloading big data from my table into a zip file in ASP.NET
program (without displaying data on the datagrid control) by an event
button_click . If you have your advises or sample codes, please send it to
me. Thanks in advance.

he is using files on the HDD.but in your case a probably writing the data to
a temp file and compressing it can be a try.

Do you mean that you want users to be able to download data from a database
table in a zip file? It is important to be perfectly clear about your
requirements before discussing any solution.

Kevin,

That's exactly what users want me to do.

If I was you I'd first try using the J# zip classes:

Or I've heard of people having success with this code:

Or you could consider calling a command line utility like this:

Or you could consider a 3rd party component such as this:
