Composite controls

[mpraneetha]

Hello Everyone,

i am creating a compostie control (for web)...which would contain a
button "GenerateFile" on click of that button..i should generate a file
(which is not a problem) and also send it to the client so that he can
open/save from the webpage the control is contained in .

if i was doing this in normal web application..i would
response.redirect to an other page..which would contain the code to
open it..it would contain response.appendheader and i would do
response.outputstream which would open a dialog box asking user ifthey
want to open or save the file.

but i am not sure how to do this from composite control...any ideas?

Thanks

Your composite control can emit the headers (ContentDisposition) and then
the file itself (via Response.ResponseStream) and then call Response.End
in the event handler that's supposed to generate the file.
