Hello All,

I am working on a task in that I want to import .bat file.
And want to show .bat file content in multi-line textbox. User can edit that
file content and user can again export that content as .bat file. For that I am using
ASP.NET MVC,JQUERY. I have succeeded to import content to textbox but am not able to
export that content as .bat file(not able to create save file dialog-box popup in asp.net mvc).
Please suggest me for this task.

I have two buttons(Import and Export) to submit same form so I have differentiate them using their name and value.

My code is as follow:

C#

[HttpPost]
        public ActionResult BatchFileSettings(string ImportExport, HttpPostedFileBase myfile, FormCollection formCollection)
        {
            if (ImportExport == "Import")
            {
                string result = "";
                if (myfile != null)
                {
                    BinaryReader b = new BinaryReader(myfile.InputStream);
                    byte[] binData = b.ReadBytes(Convert.ToInt32(myfile.InputStream.Length));
                    result = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(binData);
                }

                return Json(result, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
            }
            else if (ImportExport == "Export")
            {
                string content = formCollection["BatchFile.Content"].ToString();
                return File(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(content), "application/octetstream", "DFBatchFile.bat");
            }
            else
            {
                return Json("");
            }
        }

Thanks

You should not mix these functions in a single action. It is obviously misleading you.

Hello All

If I call like this then its working fine.

//HTML button
Export

//JQUERY
$('#aExport').click(function () {
$(this).attr("href", "/Policy/DownloadBatchFile?fileContent=" + $("#BatchFile_Content").val());
});

//Controller Method
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult DownloadBatchFile(string fileContent)
{
return File(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(fileContent), "content-disposition", "DFBatchFile.bat");
}

But I dont want to send data from querystring like this. So please help me to solve this problem.

Thanks.
