Hi all I am using RadGrid in my application, as I want my RadGrid not to refresh I had my RadGrid in an Update Panel as follows

<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server" UpdateMode="Always">

<Triggers>

<asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="RadGrid1" EventName="ItemCommand" />

<%--<asp:PostBackTrigger ControlID="RadGrid1" />--%>

</Triggers>

<ContentTemplate>

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false" OnItemCommand="RadGrid1_ItemCommand"

OnNeedDataSource="RadGrid1_NeedDataSource">

<MasterTableView Width="950" AutoGenerateColumns="false" DataKeyNames="EmpID" GridLines="None"

TableLayout="Auto">

<Columns>

<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="EmpID" HeaderText="Emp ID" ReadOnly="true" HeaderStyle-HorizontalAlign="Left"

ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Left" UniqueName="EmpID" FilterControlWidth="30px"

AutoPostBackOnFilter="true" CurrentFilterFunction="Contains" />

<telerik:GridButtonColumn DataTextField="ButtonName" ItemStyle-ForeColor="Blue" CommandName="Generate"

ConfirmTextFields="ButtonName" ConfirmTextFormatString="Would you like to {0} ACH file ?"

ConfirmDialogType="RadWindow" Reorderable="false" UniqueName="ButtonName" ConfirmTitle="ACH File">

</telerik:GridButtonColumn>

<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="EmployeeName" HeaderText="Employee Name" ReadOnly="true"

HeaderStyle-HorizontalAlign="Left" ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Left" UniqueName="EmployeeName"

FilterControlWidth="60px" AutoPostBackOnFilter="true" CurrentFilterFunction="Contains" />

</Columns>

</MasterTableView>

</telerik:RadGrid>

</ContentTemplate>

</asp:UpdatePanel>

When I click on download button I am unable to download the file this is my code in Itemcommand

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridCommandEventArgs e)

{

if (e.CommandName == "Generate")

{

Response.ContentType = "text/plain";

Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename= errorLog.txt");

Response.AddHeader("content-length", "0");

Response.Flush();

Response.End();

}

Can some one help me how can I work out this using AsyncPostBackTrigger

Hey hi Jayesh,

Here is my code below:

protected void attachmentHandler(object sender, GridCommandEventArgs e, string userType)

{

try {

const string Quote = "\"";

GridEditableItem dataItem = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;

string fileName = dataItem[userType + "Attachment"].Text;

string path = Server.MapPath("~/Attachments/" + fileName);

if (e.CommandName == "Download" + userType + "Attachment")

{

if (e.Item is GridEditableItem)

{

string name = Path.GetFileName(path);

string ext = Path.GetExtension(path);

string type = "";

if (ext != null)

{

switch (ext.ToLower())

{

case ".docx":

case ".doc":

case ".rtf":

type = "Application/msword";

break;

case ".xls":

case ".xlsx":

case ".csv":

type = "Application/x-msexcel";

break;

default:

type = "text/plain";

break;

}

Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition",

"attachment; filename=" + name.Remove(name.IndexOf("_!!_")) + ext);

if (type != "")

Response.ContentType = type;

Response.WriteFile(path);

Response.End();

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

String s = ex.Message;

}

[quote]Maria Ilieva said:Hi,

If you want to invoke download for a file from an AJAX-enabled control (either placed in RadAjaxPanel or ajaxified by RadAjaxManager), you cannot use the normal response.WriteFile function, because the XmlHttpRequest cannot handle this.
Please strictly follow the appraoch provided by Jayesh and see if it works.

Hi Maria and Jayesh,

The problem is: When the users open the form template and attach their files, they cannot download it after the file is uploaded unless they reload the page. This behavior is encountered if they do any type of action (Update/Insert/Cancel) in Form template.

I am using AjaxManager with below code behind on ItemDataBound of grid but still no luck.

string[] uniqueNameArr = { "DownloadAtt", "DeleteAtt"};

foreach (string uniqueName in uniqueNameArr)

{                        ScriptManager.GetCurrent(Page).RegisterPostBackControl(dataItem[uniqueName].Controls[0]);             }
