hosting a pdf file

[Jesse Aufiero]

I want my users to be able to click a link on my asp.net page to open a pdf
document. However, I do not want them to be able to enter in a url that
goes directly to the pdf file, thereby bypassing my log on screen. How can
I achieve this? Where must the pdf file be placed, and with what kind of
security settings?

Thanks!

Response.ContentType="application/pdf";
Response.AddHeader( "content-disposition","attachment;
filename=filename);
FileStream sourceFile = new FileStream("C:\\PDFs\\" + filename,
FileMode.Open);

long FileSize;
FileSize = sourceFile.Length;
byte[] getContent = new byte[(int)FileSize];
sourceFile.Read(getContent, 0, (int)sourceFile.Length);
sourceFile.Close();

Response.BinaryWrite(getContent);

Jesse, use the LinkButton control to create a link, and create an
event handler for the Click event

<asp:LinkButton id="LinkButton1"
Text="Download PDF"
OnClick="LinkButton_Click"
runat="server"/>

in the code-behind

void LinkButton_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
....
}
