Re: file download

Hi

The problem is impersonate got failure. But now i change the code, now the
impersontate is working fine. but its not dowloading the file. I have the
file on F drive and the sub folder having all the access to that particular
domain user.

after impersonate i writen the username, its shows the current username and
also its show the excat file path F:\Test\test foder\file1.pdf

Response.Write(System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name())


This is the code I am using.. but its not downloading the file. I dont know
where the problem is.



code:

If impersonateValidUser(Session("WinLogin"), "ScanFiles.local",
Session("WinPassword")) Then
Dim spath As String
DownloadFile(CType(E.Item.Cells(0).Controls(0),
HyperLink).NavigateUrl, True)
undoImpersonation()
Else
' impersonation failed.
Response.Write("not ok")
End If

'-------------------------------

Private Sub DownloadFile(ByVal fname As String, ByVal forceDownload As
Boolean)
Dim path1 As String = fname
Dim name As String = Path.GetFileName(path1)

Dim ext As String = Path.GetExtension(path1)
Dim type As String = "Application/pdf"
If forceDownload Then
Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;
filename=" & name)
Else
Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition", "inline;
filename=" & name)
End If

Response.Write(System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name())
Response.WriteFile(path1)
Response.End()
End Sub
