Hi,

I tried to run the code of file manager from the book "ASP.NET Website 
programming", but the download.aspx page didn't work, it was supposed to 
download the file as is, but instead it just download the page itself --
download.aspx.

Any help is appreciated!!

Thanks,

Wendy

Hi Wendy

The column immediately to the right of the file name contains a 'download'
icon. Click it to download source files.

This is documented on page 99 of the C# version of the book. I'm not sure
what page it's on in the VB.NET version. The file name simply browses to the
file on the server, wheras the download icon sends the source file to you as
a stream. You can choose to either save or open the file.

So, it's not a bug it's a feature! But you did have me worrying for a while
there -- I must admit that it's not the clearest interface ever invented.

Cheers

Hi, David:

Thanks for replying me so quickly. I already downloaded the code. My
book is VB version (also on page 99). I understand that it returns the
file as a stream, but it is not exactly like downloading since for file
type like zip file, it didn't download the .zip file, just returned
download.aspx page with all of the sources from all files in the zip
file which is not like ftp.

Thanks again for your help!!

Wendy
