Response.Write in Module

[schwarem]

I have a section of Response.Write code used to open files that I want to put in a module, so I can use it in multiple pages. When I put it in the module, it tells me "Response is not declared." Is there a library or something that I can include to allow Response to be placed in the module?

Response.Write can only be used on an actual page (and it should only be used in testing anyway).

Are you wanting this permanently in the solution? Or just for testing?
Did you try using a msgbox?
Or maybe this redirect to another page

response.redirect “Mypage.asp?Value1=xxxx&Value2=yyyy”

Then in Maypage.asp use this

SomeValue1 = Request.QueryString("Value1")
SomeValue2 = Request.QueryString("Value2")
Response.Write SomeValue1
Response.Write SomeValue2

Another thought...
you can have an .asp page that has all the code in your module and then call it with response.redirect as above and the .asp page will allow you to use Response.Write.

Try this

System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.write

That worked.

I can't see what the need for Response.Write would be in a module (as it should only be used for testing a page) so it should always be available.

You shouldn't ever have the need to test a function in a module this way as the function should simply return the variable (Response.Write could always be used on the page to test the contents of the variable).

Since everyone is asking, here is the code I am using. I am using it to output the file off the server.

Public Function RedirectFile(ByVal File As System.IO.FileInfo)
If File.Exists Then 'set appropriate headers
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Clear()
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" & File.Name)
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", File.Length.ToString())
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream"
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.WriteFile(File.FullName)
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.End() 'if file does not exist
End If
End Function

Oh, so you are actually using Response.WriteFile and not Response.Write?
