I'm trying to add the ability to download a file by clicking on a link that is in a RadGrid within a RadAjaxPanel.  I'm using Response but realize that doesn't work with Ajaxified pages.  Are there any workarounds for this snippet of code?

if (dlFile.Exists)

{

Response.ClearContent();

Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + dlFile.Name);

Response.AddHeader(

"Content-Length", dlFile.Length.ToString());

Response.ContentType = ReturnExtension(dlFile.Extension.ToLower());

Response.TransmitFile(dlFile.FullName);

Response.End();

}



Thanks

Hi Kosal,

The link should perform postback to be able to download the file, which operation is generally restricted in AJAX scenario. You can either try the ResponseScripts work-around explained in the documentation here, or implement partial postback for the link in question as demonstrated on this demo:

Thank you.
The partial postback method worked for me.
