Downloading Dynamically Generated Text File

[JabbaTheNut]

I want the client to be able to download a text file that is dynamically generated (i.e., not stored on the server's hard drive).

I have successfully used the following code for a non-dynamic text file that is stored on the server's hard drive:


Private Sub btnTest_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnTest.Click

Dim fullpath As String = "c:\testdoc.txt"
Dim fname As String = "testdoc.txt"
Response.Clear()
Response.ContentType = "text/plain"
Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", _
"attachment; filename=""" & fullpath & """&quot
Response.Flush()
Response.WriteFile(fname)

End Sub



How can I modify this for a dynamically generated text file?

For example...

Assume that I want to generate a text file (for immediate download by the client) that contains the phrase "Hello World!". Without saving the file to the hard drive and then sending it to the client for download (as described in the code above) and then deleting the file from the hard drive afterward, how should the code be written?



Game Over, Man!
