RadAjaxLoadingPanel remains visible after file downloaded to browser

[jlj30]

Hi,

I have a master page with a RadAjaxPanel wrapped around the ContentPlaceHolder.
This works well for most of my pages with the RadAjaxLoadingPanel popping up as expected and disappearing when the request completes.

My issue occurs when I download a file to the browser using the following sequence of code: (*** Code updated 13dec2012 ***)

Response.TransmitFile(path + Session["Attachment"].ToString());
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + Session["Attachment"].ToString().Replace(" ", "_"));
Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream";

The above code is actually in a separate page from the one on which the initial request was launched.  I do a Response.Redirect to get to this second page (which is not displayed, but just performs the above code in its Page_Load event).

The document is successfully downloaded to the browser, but the RadAjaxLoadingPanel remains visible.
Is there something I should be doing to make the loading panel aware that the request is complete?
I have tried using Response.End() but this causes an error.

Once again, the loading panel is working fine for any other type of requests; it's only the document download that causes the problem.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jim,

The downloading scenario described is not supported by the MS Ajax framework. Please review the following help articles which describe how to download files and redirect to another page with RadAjax:

• Download files
• Redirect to another page

Angel,

Thanks for your suggestions.
The RadAjaxPanel1.ResponseScripts.Add(...) solution (identified in your first link) worked for me.
I call this when I have completed building the document to be downloaded.
This causes the loading panel to disappear and the browser notifies me that I have a file to save/open just a second or two later.
The redirected page (in my case ViewAttachments) performs the actual TransmitFile.

MstrPanel1.ResponseScripts.Add(String.Format(@"window.location.href = ""{0}"";", "ViewAttachments.aspx?Path=ExternalDocs&Delete=No"));

Thanks again.
