C#

protected void btnsave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (flUpld.HasFile == false)
        {
            lblerror.Text = "select a file to upload";
        }
        else
        {
            try
            {
                string filename = flUpld.FileName;
                find =Request.ApplicationPath;
                flUpld.PostedFile.SaveAs(Server.MapPath(find+"/results/" + filename.Trim()));
                string path = find+"/results/" + filename.Trim();

                if (ChangeData.InsertResult(ddlcategory.SelectedValue.ToString(), ddlsubcategory.SelectedValue.ToString(),
                txttitle.Text, path))
                {
                    txttitle.Text = "";
                    lblerror.Text = "sucessfully submitted";
                }
                else
                {
                    lblerror.Text = "try again later ";
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
               // Response.Write(ex.ToString());

An easy way to do it is to just Response.Redirect(pathOfPdfFile)

nyanb31 it's not as easy as you are talking ..read carefully what i want..

If you know so precisely what you want, why are you not writing the code? No one here is just going to do your work for you.

i am not asking to you to do my work.. if you are not able to do.. then keep out of this. intelligent persons are available . i didn't ask this question to any dumb .. got it.

Do you have the file in folder? or Are you going to generate the pdf file dynamically?

It will be better if you can provide the design code of the page. From the code which you are provided, it is not very clear.

Solution 1

Try this...

C#

string pdfPath = Server.MapPath("~/SomePDFFile.pdf");
WebClient client = new WebClient();
Byte[] buffer = client.DownloadData(pdfPath);
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.AddHeader("content-length", buffer.Length.ToString());
Response.BinaryWrite(buffer);
