Hi,
file name: abc.aspx

my code:

C#

string Path = @"E:\documents\Data20160129110355.xls";
HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel";
HttpContext.Current.Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename="+path+"");
HttpContext.Current.Response.TransmitFile(Path);
HttpContext.Current.Response.Flush();
HttpContext.Current.Response.Close();

On click of "Open" it will open the file successfully but the header of the file are not showing "Data20160129110355.xls". It's showing abc.aspx.

How to solve this problem please reply.

Try with below code:

C#

string Path = @"E:\documents\Data20160129110355.xls";
string sFileName = "Data20160129110355.xls";
Response.Clear();
HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel";
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + sFileName);
HttpContext.Current.Response.RedirectLocation = url;
HttpContext.Current.Response.TransmitFile(Path);
HttpContext.Current.Response.Flush();
HttpContext.Current.Response.Close();

@Manas_Kumar: I tried your code but it's not working.

By the way, what is the file name you are getting now?

Member 12299286 1-Feb-16 2:13am

The file header name is abc.aspx
For "Save" and "Save As" it's working fine.
This problem happening only for "Open".

What is purpose "RedirectLocation" in your code? Because it gets or sets the value of the HTTP Location header.

Can you just comment and try it again.

i removed that line of code.
but still it's not working.
