  opening a webform , that loads pdf file , in a modal dialog

  Apr 22, 2012 11:30 AM|LINK

  I have a webform that displays pdf file as soon as it loads.Here is the code in its pageload

  WebForm3.aspx

  Response.Clear()
   Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
   Response.WriteFile("~/PDF-sample3.pdf")

  Now in the button click of WebForm2.aspx i have the below code

  Response.Write("<script type='text/javascript'>window.showModalDialog('WebForm3.aspx');</script>")
  

  The problem is that when the button is clicked it opens a modal dialog but the pdf file is not displayed.

  When i use window.open instead of window.showModalDialog the pdf file is displayed.But I want to display the file in a modal dialog so that the parent window will be disabled.

  Please suggest a solution to this problem.

  
  Thanks.
