When this method is used with large files, calling the method might result in an exception. The size of the file that can be used with this method depends on the hardware configuration of the Web server.

String fileName;
FileInfo myFileInfo;
long startPos = 0;
long fileSize;
fileName = "c:\\temp\\login.txt";
myFileInfo = new FileInfo(fileName);
fileSize = myFileInfo.get_Length();
get_Response().Write("Please Login: <br>");
get_Response().WriteFile(fileName, startPos, fileSize);
var fileName : String var myFileInfo : FileInfo var startPos : long = 0 var fileSize : long fileName = "c:\\temp\\login.txt" myFileInfo = new FileInfo(fileName) fileSize = myFileInfo.Length Response.Write("Please Login: <br>") Response.WriteFile(fileName, startPos, fileSize)
