file download with WriteFile method gives an empty file ?

[Guest]

Hi.

I've got this code in my download page Page_load() method, but all I got in
the end is an empty file on client side... any clue ?

string filename="testfile.pdf";
Response.Clear();
Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream";
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" +
filename + "\"");
Response.Flush();
Response.WriteFile("c:\\temp\\testfile.pdf");

Eric,
Besides the obvious (e.g., ensuring the file to send is where expected and
isn't empty), try taking out the "Response.Flush" line, and add
"Response.End()" at the end after WriteFile.
