Re: Serve up file from outside web application directory

Thanks for your followup Brian,

for the text file with "System.Byte[]" problem you mentioned, do you mean
the file download dialog display the filename as "System.Byte[]"?

If this is the case, I suggest you check the code to see whether you have
add the "Content-Disposition" header and supply the filename. Because when
you stream out a file(or other binary content), the ASP.Net won't care
what's their original filename, you need to explicitly supply them.e.g.

======================
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
byte[] bytes = null;
string path = @"d:\filestore\pdf_files\test.pdf";

bytes = File.ReadAllBytes(path);

Response.ClearHeaders();
Response.ClearContent();
Response.ContentType= "text/plain";

//here put the filename
Response.AddHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment;
filename=test.txt");

Response.Write(bytes);
Response.End();
}
===========

Sincerely,
