I'm currently trying to write data (client machine) into a xml file where the user can save. However, I want the users to be able to decide on where they want to save this written xml file. Is there any controls or codes that I can use to allow the users to save the file?.
Update:
is that right way to do?
**HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(xw.ToStroing()); <<< ??????**
HttpContext.Current.Response.End();
update:
XmlWriterSettings settings = new XmlWriterSettings();
settings.Indent = true;
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
HttpContext.Current.Response.Clear();
HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "text/xml";
HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition:", "attachment;filename=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(fileName));
using (StringWriter sw = new StringWriter())
{
using (XmlWriter xw = XmlWriter.Create(ms, settings))
{
xw.WriteStartDocument();
xw.WriteStartElement("Name");
xw.WriteStartElement("Application");

HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(xw.ToStroing());
HttpContext.Current.Response.End();
When you begin a file download, the client's browser will handle the file saving location.
If you want to force the file to download instead of open, add this HTTP header to your response:
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="myFile.xml"
