Parameters

  • fileContents
    Type: System.Byte[]
    The binary content to send to the response.

    Type: System.String
    The file name to use in the file-download dialog box that is displayed in the browser.

Return Value

Type: System.Web.Mvc.FileContentResult
The file-content result object.

Remarks

The fileDownloadName parameter is used to generate the content-disposition header.

The MediaTypeNames class can be used to get the MIME type for a specific file name extension.

Examples

A Visual Studio project with source code is available to accompany this topic: Download.

The following example shows how to open a file-download dialog box and set the file name to the name of the server file. The id parameter contains the server file name.

public ActionResult ShowFileDLN(string id) {
    fileDetail fd = getFileDetails(id);
    return File(fd.fileBytes, fd.mimeType, id);
}
Public Function ShowFileDLN(ByVal id As String) As ActionResult 
    Dim fd As fileDetail = getFileDetails(id) 
    Return File(fd.fileBytes, fd.mimeType, id) 
End Function
