My gridview is inside master page now in the link button used inside gridview for downloading, it is not downloading a file.
I followed this article :
http://www.aspsnippets.com/Articles/Download-Files-from-GridView-using-LinkButton-Click-Event-in-ASPNet-using-C-and-VBNet.aspx
It works in child pages, but when i use gridview inside master page and follow this article , it wont download a file. Here's my coding for beck end :
protected void DownloadFile(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
string filePath = (sender as LinkButton).CommandArgument;
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + Path.GetFileName(filePath));
Response.WriteFile(filePath);
Response.End();
}
catch (Exception)
{
throw;
}
}
Rest coding in html is same as mentioned in article.
