Hi all gurus,
forgive me for this stupid question. Even if I'm sure it's treated on
some thread, I was not able to find it.
I've the need to generate a plain text file in MS ASP.NET (it's
generated, of course) and to transfer it in A web page after the request
button is pressed. I was able to generate the file (myExportFile) on the
server, as told, and then issuing the instructions:

            Response.ClearContent()
            Response.ClearHeaders()
            Response.ContentType = "text/plain"
            Response.WriteFile(myExportFile)
            Response.Flush()
            Response.Close()

I should be able to see it in my page. However, all I have is a blank
page. If I change MIME type to "text/html" I obtain a file
unintelligible, with no CR. What is the correct MIME type? Where can I
find a list of all correct MIME types? Can you pls point me to the right
direction? TIA
