Download with Image Name

[livezone]

Hi,

On my aspx page (MyPage.aspx), I am issuing the following commnad

Response.Redirect(ImgURL) ' Where ImgURL is the Absolute Path of the Image

On the image page, if I right click on the image to save it it will try to save it with MyPage.aspx instead of the Image name.

How can I force him to show the image name in the save dialog box?

Thanks
Shafiq

thats strange, it worked for me though in IE it asked me to save it as BMP (which sometimes happens).

can i have an example imageURL...

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull

This is strange, I used IE also, and it puts in the page name(instead of the image name) with an extention of .htm

can i have ur codes?

mine is:

response.redirect("

http://localhost/test.gif")

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull

I used this:
Response.Redirect("

http://localhost/PatientManagement/Test.JPG")

and that didnt ask me to save in html, it asked me to save as BMP(which is a bug that occurs sometimes with images in IE)...

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull

It defaulted to .jpg in the file type box, but the file name defaulted to the page name. I assumed like livezone, that the image name would be in the box by default.

Here is the code

Sub DownloadImage(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As CommandEventArgs)

Dim ImgURL As String

If e.CommandName = "Download" Then
ImgURL = e.CommandArgument
Response.Redirect(ImgURL)
End If
End Sub

I assign the imgURL dynamically using this code as my image path is stored in a database (absolute path) like

http://MyServer/MyDir/Image.jpg

If Not IsDBNull(dtr("ReferenceImageUrl")) Then
imgProduct.ImageUrl = dtr("ReferenceImageUrl")
imgProduct.ImageAlign = ImageAlign.AbsMiddle
imgProduct.ToolTip = dtr("ProductDescription")
imgbDownLoad.CommandArgument = dtr("ReferenceImageUrl") End If

Thanks
