Thanks for your idea, Debra. Though I was really trying to avoid these
dialog boxes. In fact I am 'translating' all my systems' reports from
Crystal Reports to Reporting Services. The problem is my clients are already
using my systems with this export option to excel, without needing to save
any file. If I barelly whisper that they will need to take more clicks to do
something that is already working well, I will be exterminated.
However, I think the approach i will adopt is save a file to disk then use
this code:
Page.Response.ClearContent()
Page.Response.ClearHeaders()
Page.Response.ContentType = mime
Page.Response.WriteFile(savedFile)
Page.Response.Flush()
Page.Response.Close()
This approach works fine without any dialog boxes. The problem is at my
clients using web farms with load balance. I am afraid of exceptions, like
file not found.
Any other ideas, let me know, please.
