How to download file via jquery ajax and C#
I want to download a file using jQuery Ajax web method, but it's not working.
Here is my jQuery ajax call to web method:
function GenerateExcel() {
var ResultTable = jQuery('<div/>').append(jQuery('<table/>').append($('.hDivBox').find('thead').clone()).append($('.bDiv').find('tbody').clone()));
var list = [$(ResultTable).html()];
var jsonText = JSON.stringify({ list: list });
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "GenerateMatrix.aspx/GenerateExcel",
data: jsonText,
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: function (response) {
},
failure: function (response) {
alert(response.d);
}
});
}
and this is the web method definition:
[System.Web.Services.WebMethod()]
public static string GenerateExcel(List<string> list)
{
HttpContext.Current.Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=FileEName.xls");
HttpContext.Current.Response.Charset = "";
HttpContext.Current.Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel";
HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(list[0]);
HttpContext.Current.Response.End();
return "";
}
How to get it done? Please help me out.
One more thing: I want to download it on client pc, not to save it on server.
well i have done it using iframe
this is the modified ajax function call
function GenerateExcel() {
var ResultTable = jQuery('<div/>').append(jQuery('<table/>').append($('.hDivBox').find('thead').clone()).append($('.bDiv').find('tbody').clone()));
var list = [$(ResultTable).html()];
var jsonText = JSON.stringify({ list: list });
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "GenerateMatrix.aspx/GenerateExcel",
data: jsonText,
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: function (response) {
if (isNaN(response.d) == false) {
$('#iframe').attr('src', 'GenerateMatrix.aspx?ExcelReportId=' + response.d);
$('#iframe').load();
}
else {
alert(response.d);
}
},
failure: function (response) {
alert(response.d);
}
});
}
and this is the design part
<iframe id="iframe" style="display:none;"></iframe>
on Page load my code looks like this
Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=FileEName.xls");
Response.Charset = "";
Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel";
Response.Write(tableHtml);
Response.End();
Add these in your view page-
<iframe id="iframe" style="display:none;"></iframe>
<button id="download_file">Download</button>
Server side
public string Download(string file)
{
string filePath = Server.MapPath(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["FileManagementPath"]);
string actualFilePath = System.IO.Path.Combine(filePath, file);
HttpContext.Response.ContentType = "APPLICATION/OCTET-STREAM";
string filename = Path.GetFileName(actualFilePath);
String Header = "Attachment; Filename=" + filename;
HttpContext.Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", Header);
HttpContext.Response.WriteFile(actualFilePath);
HttpContext.Response.End();
return "";
}
Add this code in your JavaScript
<script>
$('#download_file').click(function(){
var path = 'e-payment_format.pdf';//name of the file
$("#iframe").attr("src", "/FileCabinet/Download?file=" + path);
});
</script>
That should work!
假设C＃代码响应正确的Excel头文件，您可以简单地重定向到链接而不是使用ajax：
var list = [$(ResultTable).html()];
var url = "GenerateMatrix.aspx/GenerateExcel";
var data = {list: list};
url += '?' + decodeURIComponent($.param(data));
// if url is an excel file, the browser will handle it (should show a download dialog)
window.location = url;
