ASP.NET MVC. How to download many text files (pdf, docx, txt) and send to print?

Question

I have to send many, difference text files to print one click on button in my WebApplication but the first I have to download this files from server.

How should I have to do?

Answer 1

You cannot send more than one file in the same response. It's programmatically feasible, but the browser will not be able to understand the response.

If you need to send several content in just one event (a click response, for example) it is better to compress the documents and send one .zip file. The other option is to response to different buttons, one per file.

The reason is that the HTTP only expects one kind of response, not two or more.
