asp.netashx

In an ashx file, can I set the filename of the returned file?

My ashx response.writes a simple text file that is returned. Can I change the filename, so if my ashx is located at mysite.com/someURL it doesn't return someURL.txt but rather, myFileName.txt ?

Solution

  • You can use Content-Disposition headed and Response.AddHeader method for setting name of downloaded file.

    context.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=myFileName.txt");
