Controller::File Method (Stream, String, String)
Visual Studio 2010
Creates a FileStreamResult object using the Stream object, the content type, and the target file name.
Assembly: System.Web.Mvc (in System.Web.Mvc.dll)
protected public: virtual FileStreamResult^ File( Stream^ fileStream, String^ contentType, String^ fileDownloadName )
Parameters
- fileStream
- Type: System.IO::Stream
The stream to send to the response.
- contentType
- Type: System::String
The content type (MIME type)
- fileDownloadName
- Type: System::String
The file name to use in the file-download dialog box that is displayed in the browser.
The fileDownloadName parameter is used to generate the content-disposition header. The result object that is prepared by this method is written to the response by the MVC framework when the object is executed. The MediaTypeNames class can be used to get the MIME type for a specific file name extension.
The following example shows how to open a file-download dialog box and set the file name to the name of the server file. The id parameter contains the server file name.
