Hi all,

Great list this!! Well impressed after 4 hours!! ;)

I have an asp.net app written using c#. What I'd like to do is when
someone clicks a hyperlink, say:

        <a href="download.aspx?docid=4" target=_new>Click</a>

I'd like that to open a new page, run a db query which returns the
filename of that doc, and triggers the download of the pdf. After
looking on the web and looking at the old "content-disposition" meta tag
and the binarywrite method that were prevalent in ASP3 that we used to
use, there doesn't seem to be any new way?

Maybe I'm being naïve thinking there would be a new method with .NET! :)

Anyway if anyone knows the best way to go about this procedure it would
be much appreciated.

Thanks and long live the list!
