Hi
I’m new to ASP.NET so I’m hopping the following question can be easily answered by you experienced developers out their.
I want to create a web service which will initiate a download with the client, the file being sent to the client will depend on a “downloadID” query string that the client post’s to my service.
I know how to map this “downloadID” to the specific file to be downloaded, what I don’t know is how to respond to the client with some sort of download initiation.
I just need to be pointed in the right direction.
Thanks
Creating a ASP mobile app download page
Martin Sommer
Here is some more info.
I am using an ASP.net mobile application project.
I want the user to visit my download site by following a URL that is supplied in an SMS message. This URL has a downloadId query string appended to the end.
I am using the code below to check if the downloadId is valid and then if the users device can support MIDP 1.0 or higher.
If all is good I then want to write out a file in the response.
From IE the file download is displayed as just text on the download page and from a mobile phone the page is not displayed because of an error.
Do I have to do something with the mime type
private
void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e){
try{
//get the configuration for the page instance, e.g. Query String dataJavaLoaderConfig config = AdminClasses.LoadConfig(
ConfigServices.AppConfigDirectory+@"\java_loader_config.xml", Request);
//check the midp versionMidpVersionResult midpResult = AdminClasses.CheckMidpVersion(config, Request);
Response.WriteFile(@"C:\midlet download\temp jad\file.jar");
Response.Flush();
}
catch(Exception ex){
}
}

I would suggest looking at WSE 3.0 and MTOM. That's what I would do.
