A First Agile Project

This is a good series of posts from mattgrommes’ blog about his experiences with his first Scrum project.  I think the articles have some interesting lessons in them.

Controlling file download using header content

Here’s a code snippet I was searching for the other day.  It’s a straight forward header modification for a web page which I used to download a CSV file directly into the file type handler setup on the local computer for Microsoft Excel files.  The user is prompted with the usual save/open dialog.

this.Response.Clear();
this.Response.ClearHeaders();
this.Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel";
this.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=<insert file name here>; size=<insert file size in bytes here>“);
this.Response.Write(<file>);
this.Response.End();
