        byte[] bytes;
        //var id = HttpContext.Current.Request.Form["id"];//add this line to ref to id
        string contentType;
        SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["const"].ConnectionString);

        using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand())
        {
            cmd.CommandText = "select Attachment,SalesNumber from invoice where SalesNumber=@Id";
            cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Id", id);

        HttpContext.Current.Response.Charset = "";
        HttpContext.Current.Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
        HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = @"application/pdf";// "image/png";


        //HttpContext.Current.Response.BinaryWrite(Buffer);

        HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", bytes.Length.ToString());
        HttpContext.Current.Response.OutputStream.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
        HttpContext.Current.Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + contentType +".pdf");
        HttpContext.Current.Response.End();
        HttpContext.Current.Response.Flush();


    }

my ajax function for each row button:-

$('#datat tbody').on('click', 'button', function () {

                      var currow = $(this).closest('tr');
                      var col1 = currow.find('td:eq(1)').text();


                      $.ajax({
                          url: 'WebService1.asmx/DownloadFile',
                          data: JSON.stringify({ id: col1}),
                          method: 'post',
                          contentType: 'application/json;charset=utf-8',
                          dataType: 'json',
                          success: function (data) {
                              alert('PDF generated successfully.');
                          }
                      });

Please advise me a solution ... thanks for your help

Answer 1

I don't know if this is all you need, or if it will work from a web service, but i think you need at least

// note the quotes around the file name.
Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", 
    "attachment; filename=\"" + fileName + "\"");

and

Response.TransmitFile(Server.MapPath("~/pathToYourFiles/" + fileName));

I do this without an output stream, i just configure the response (most of what you already have) and TransmitFile, so this might not work for you.
