[Solved] Enable download via hyperlink

[JungTae]

Hello Telerik team. I am currently using Silverlight 3 DLLs on VSTS 2008, and I have a link to an excel file on our server which is displayed in the hyperlinkcolumn of RadGridView. I want to allow the user to download the excel file when the user clicks on the link. How can this effect be achieved? I do not necessarily have to use hyperlinkColumn, whichever method that works will do

Hello JungTae,

If you can achieve this with a simple hyperlink button then you should be able to do the same with the RadGridView's hyperlink column.

I am current using onClick eventhandler to enable the download with my hyerlink on my page right now. How should I implement this event hadler using the hyperlinkColumn? here is the code that I'm using with my current hyperlinkbutton

private void sampleCSVHyperLink_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    SaveFileDialog saveDialog = new SaveFileDialog();
    saveDialog.DefaultExt = ".csv";
    saveDialog.Filter = "CSV Files|*.csv";
    saveDialog.FilterIndex = 1;

    bool? dialogResult = saveDialog.ShowDialog();

    if (dialogResult == true)
    {
        busyIndicator.IsBusy = true;
        localWriteFile = saveDialog.OpenFile();
        proxy.DownloadCSVTemplateAsync(this.pricingModel.ModelName);
     }
}

Hello JungTae,

In this case I would suggest to use the CellTemplate of the gridview column and put a Hyperlink button there. You can subscribe to its Click event and execute that code upon clicking just as you did outside the gridview.

Hope this helps
