Streamreader 1

[fordtran]

I am conversant with reading a textfile and writing that to a label control on my web page. Is it possible to read that directly onto the page in stead of into a control.

Thanks

Why do you want to write directly to the page? What advantage would that give you over setting a control's Text property?

are you wanting to stream the file to open in the relevant application. if you looking into Binarywriting and adding the content headers.. you should see plenty of examples if you google for it

Hi ca8msm

My problem is that if I write to a control, that control may be wider than the page of the browser and the client will then see only a part of the text, whereas when I write directly to the page, the text will wrap and he will be able to read averything.

That's not true at all. Page layout can be controlled directly by CSS regardless of which HTML tags text is written to.

Hi - thanks
Please give me an idea how I should go about it - I know cascading style sheets.

If you're setting the Label's Text property, the text should wrap as if you wrote directly to the page as long as you have a blank "Width" property.

Also, writing to a Literal control is exactly like writing directly to the page. Treat both situations similarly.
