What kind of new way do you want? It doesn't matter if it is ASP or ASP.Net the protocol is HTTP, and Microsoft doesn't control that.

ASP.Net Response does support a stream output now, which can make things simpler than BinaryWrite. Peter __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
