MIME types for Visio
-
Hi everyone, This is more of a Visio web developer question! I have a visio compatible XML string that I want to flush to the client machine. I want to know how to set the MIME type and pass the XML string so that it opens it in VIsio on the client machine. I tried setting the "application/x-visio" in the response object's content type field, but that only tries to save it as an ASP.NET page! Well, I even tried registering the MIME type with IIS and setting the content type field to application/vnd.visio.xml. Then, in my application I do: Response.Clear(); Response.Charset = ""; Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.visio.xml"; But it still interprets it as a ASP page. I also tried "application/vnd.ms-visio". That also did not work. When I use application/vnd.visio then it tries to interpret the document as the native Visio format :( Also, I noticed something with IE. Some macros and ActiveX creation within Visio do not work, even if user enables macro on prompt. What I wanted was to stream the visio content to the client, start an instance of visio and be able to use all the features. I do not want the IE to host Visio application inside. Guys, please help me! I would be in deep trouble. I should have looked at this before doing all this development! I would be even willing to pay some bucks to someone who helps here!
