Custom ASP.NET file download from a page

Custom ASP.NET file download from a page

We must have had 20 posts regarding variations on this theme.
This code (which works for me) should be self-explanatory:



<%@ Page language="C#" debug="true" %>
<script language="C#" runat="server">
private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) {
Response.ContentType="application/zip";
Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=myzipfile.zip");
Response.WriteFile(@"c:\inetpub\wwwroot\myzipfile.zip");
Response.Flush();
}
</script>

N.B. Reader Shaun College added the following to chop off the extra junk that may be sent by the ASP.NET runtime along with your file:

Response.AddHeader ("Content-Length", FileSize.ToString());
