Hi, we do have a flex application running on a server using .NET C# over FluorineFX. We need to export tables in Excel, so I suppose should create text file containing a html table and set it's mime type to Excel so that the file would open in Excel as default.
Is there any means of creating the file in the client and letting the user download the file as it was coming from the remote server? If it would be possible to create the file in client, it would be preferable due to performance issues. Note, that I do not wan't to access user's file system directly, only provide the user a dialog where he/she can choose, where to save the file. If this is not possible, what practice would you suggest to handle the case in server? So far I've googled that it should be possible to create a file on the server, send the URL to the client and then use FileReferencer class to download the file, but I found this solution unpreferrable, because the file needs to be accessed only once and only by the current user - no-one else, so I found saving the file in server's filesystem not a good choice. I really appreciate your advice, BR Ilkka
