Forcing A Postback Asp.Net
- by Nick LaMarca
Please take a look at the following click event...
Protected Sub btnDownloadEmpl_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnDownloadEmpl.Click
Dim emplTable As DataTable = SiteAccess.DownloadEmployee_H()
Dim d As String = Format(Date.Now, "d")
Dim ad() As String = d.Split("/")
Dim fd As String = ad(0) & ad(1)
Dim fn As String = "E_" & fd & ".csv"
Response.ContentType = "text/csv"
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" & fn)
CreateCSVFile(emplTable, Response.Output)
Response.Flush()
Response.End()
lblEmpl.Visible = True
End Sub
This code simply exports data from a datatable to a csv file. The problem here is lblEmpl.Visible=true never gets hit because this code doesnt cause a postback to the server. Even if I put the line of code lblEmpl.Visible=true at the top of the click event the line executes fine, but the page is never updated. How can I fix this?
