Open a PDF file

[kferrara]

I have a PDF file that needs to open with a command button in ASP.net. When the command button is clicked there is code that must run BEFORE the PDF file is opened. The problem is (and I've searched and searched) I don't know the ASP.net code to actually open the PDF file. Does anybody know this? THANKS!

You could try this

With Response
.ClearContent()
.ClearHeaders()
.ContentType = "application/pdf"
.WriteFile("c:\mypdf.pdf)
.Flush()
.Close()
End With

Have you tried redirecting to the PDF url?

Thanks, I'll try your code. Actually, I'm using a server.transfer but to a different page. I want my asp page to transfer to a different page, but based on the code in the first page, a window needs to open up with a pdf file in it. The name and location of the pdf file is derived from a database stored procedure (not hard coded).
