deleting temp file after HttpResponse.WriteFile

[Vadim]

Hi,

I will have to send a file to a user's browser to be opened in a Save, Open
manner, I am using HttpResponse.WriteFile for this, the info to be sent will
have to be first accumulated in a temp file in a temp directory and sent to
a user and then I would want to delete the temp file. Please let me know if
the following sequence will be correct:

HttpResponse.WriteFile(TempFileName)
HttpResponse.End
DeleteTempFile //Is it safe to delete tempfile here or the call to
httpResponse.writefile might still be doing something on another thread
internally, etc...

Thank you

Vadim

I would do something like this..

try{
HttpResponse.WriteFile(TempFileName)
// you may also need to .flush() here
HttpResponse.End
}finally{
if(tempfile.exists) deletetempfilehere..
}

that way, no matter what happens, the temp file gets deleted

CJ, Thank you

It seems like Response.End woulf flush everything also.
