Hello all - Noob here -
I have set up CodeCharge with the ASP upload piece with Persits Upload - I can get the file into a folder on the web server - and a reference in the database - - I used the "store" template - and added the "upload" piece to the "new product" table in the admin section - so you add a new product - you can upload a document (pdf) - now - how do I make a "products area" where you can click on a link and have the selected PDF download from the folder? I can search the "products" and I can sort the "products" but I can not create a link to click on and get the "pdf" file I uploaded with the product name and description. Seems like the upload piece it very intuitive - but to get the file has stumped me...
Three days of trying - going grey - any help would be most appreciated -
Thanks

Here's some code that I use to do it:

Basically, it's a matter of sending it as a binary stream with a
content-type of "unknown". This keeps the browser from trying to handle it
itself.

Would you be so kind as to explain where I put that code - and how I can incorporate the code in the "grid Builder" - sorry for the simple questions - but my learning curve here is a bell - and i'm on the downslope..

It depends on what you need. Possibly create a "your file is downloading"
page and put the code into the Before Show or that page. Possibly on a
button OnClick if you don't want the separate page.
In short, any event routine, at any suitable point in your application,
based on your design requirements.
