asp.net announcements: I have a string that I want the browser user to save to his local disk.
Since there is no SaveFileDialog class in ASP how can I allow a user to save
this text file?
Thanks,
Tina

First of all, the announcements newsgroup is not the best suited newsgroup
to ask questions like this. More appropriate would have been the
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet newsgroup.

Back to your question though; SaveFileDialog can't work in ASP.NET as these
pages run on the server, and SaveFileDialog is a client side winforms
control.

Best thing to do is create a temporary ASCII text file on the server and
create a HREF to that file so users can click on it and save it.
