Save two files on the client

[koraykazgan]

Hi all,

I have to solve the following scenario. On my webpage, the user is able to view some text content. I have to put a "Save Document" button on that page. If the user wants to save that document, she clicks "Save Document" and then I have to pop up the Save As Dialog. When the user selects a folder, where she wants to save that file, I need to save that file on the client.

The first question is how can I do that in ASP.Net 2.0?

Now the problem is getting bigger. Every Document has some metadata. When the user has selected a file, that file has to be saved on the selected location. Besides, a file which is including the metadata (in XML Format) has also to be saved in the selected folder.

So my second questing is how can I save two files with one save dialog.

Note: I cannot join the files into one (e.g. Zipping the files) because on the client a 3rd party application is looking for the file and its metadata seperately.

Thanks for help,
Bye...

To send the client a file, you can either redirect your page to the file or you can send it as part of the response object. For the question on sending multiple files read thread855-1395800
