How to do dynamic link to a pdf files , using this code below :

Apr 25, 2012 01:23 PM|LINK
hello all , i have this code below , when you click on the link button ,it will open the Details page of the news .. the reason of using this code is to increase the Visit no, of the link
```
LinkButton lbtn = sender as LinkButton;

        if (lbtn != null)

        DA.UpdateVisitNo(lbtn.CommandArgument, 0);
        Response.Redirect("Details.aspx?NewsID=" + lbtn.CommandArgument);
   }
}
```
now , in my table there is a field for the File name with extention , for example MyCV.doc , Refrence.pdf ....,.

what i want now instead of this Response.Redirect("Details.aspx?NewsID=" + lbtn.CommandArgument); , i want to open the linked file .. to the Link button ,

i hope you got what i mean

Regards

Instead of doing a linkbutton to update the visit number, why not just put it in the page you are redirecting to? For the way that you are doing it, you have to use response.redirect because, at this point, the linkbutton has already posted back as a command event so it's job is done. That leaves response.redirect as the only way to go here.

Open/Download files on Click from server to client - http://www.intstrings.com/ramivemula/asp-net/how-to-download-files-from-server-to-client-using-a-generic-handler/

so you need to pass something specific to the file to handler or page and then make it download...

Thanks,

Hi siamand,

siamand

all i want is instead of redirecting the link button , download the file

Response.Redirect("Details.aspx?NewsID=" + lbtn.CommandArgument);

If you want to download the file to client, you need to using a generic handler. It handles all the requests made for the download which will meet your reqirement. For details, please check the link ramiramilu provided.

Best wishes,

Thank you very much for your help

i tried your code , and its working fine but there is some problem :

1- if there is one image inside the image folder , and this image is assigned to different things or articles ..it only show one dowload image with one download link ...

2- in my case what i want is instead of word Download , i would like to place the Title of my subject and when they click it download the linked file ...

3- also i want to mix this code with a gride view for example

Name of the Photo photographer name Date Taken Download

Regards
