  How to file download and open in Windows Phone 7?

  Mar 04, 2011 01:25 AM|Eswaran_MCA|LINK

  Hi all,

  I am developing winodws phone application. I need to download and open a file when click "Download File".

  i have done this in asp.net by using the follwoing code.. it's working fine in asp.net.

  BUT, I need the same functionality in WINDOWS PHONE 7.

  protected void btnDownloadFile_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

      {

          DownloadFile();

      }

   

   private void DownloadFile()

      {

          string localfilename = @"E:\sample.txt";

          FileStream liveStream = new FileStream(localfilename, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);

   

          byte[] buffer = new byte[(int)liveStream.Length];

          liveStream.Read(buffer, 0, (int)liveStream.Length);

          liveStream.Close();

   

          string originalFilename = "downloadedFile.txt";

   

          Response.Clear();

          Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream";

          Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", buffer.Length.ToString());

          Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + originalFilename);

          Response.BinaryWrite(buffer);

          Response.End();

      }

   

  thanks

  Take a look at my blog posting Windows Phone 7 Series development: reading RSS feeds There is example about how to download content from WP7 without freezing phone UI.

  Don't forget to mark solution providing post as "Answered".

  I think what the OP is asking about is downloading a file from Internet Explorer by writing it to the response. This does not work in WP7 or WP8 using the code he mentioned, but does work on all desktop browsers.
