I have Created a pdf file by using pdfSharp and save in a location.but when i want to open that pdf file on the link button click event down load dialogue box is appear and when i clicked the open button.Adobe Reader throws the Strange Error message.the Error Message is Adobe Reader couldn't open "invoice__2009[1].pdf because it is either not supported file type or because the file has been damaged(for example it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded) (my filename is only invoice__2009 but [1] is extra comming in the message) can you help me for this matter? My code sample is string inv = Session["invN0"].ToString(); Response.Clear(); Response.ClearHeaders(); Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"; Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + inv); Response.TransmitFile(Server.MapPath(("~/") + "Shopping/pdfInvoice/" + inv)); Response.End(); Thank You Pawan

Check the response. I think you are ending the response before writing the output. Also use Response.BinaryWrite to write binary data in response. :cool:

I also tried that but the result is same. This code works when I used it on same Block where i generate the pdf.But when i pass the Pdf file name in session and used it in the Button click event this error throws.
