Need help to change file format after the users download it from Database

Question

Did I miss something in this code? cuz when I test it I get the file type as "File" not as PDF.

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["DatabaseConnectionString1"].ConnectionString); 
    conn.Open();
    string pdffile = "select pdf from users where ID='" + TextBoxLic.Text + "'";
    SqlCommand pdfcom = new SqlCommand(pdffile, conn);
    SqlDataReader reader = pdfcom.ExecuteReader();
    if (reader.Read())
    {
        Byte[] pdfData = (byte[])reader.GetValue(0);
        Response.ContentType = "Application/pdf";            
        Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + TextBoxLic.Text);
        Response.BinaryWrite(pdfData);
        Response.End();
        conn.Close();
    }
}

Answer 1

Maybe try adding a

Response.Flush(); Response.Close();

after Response.BinaryWrite(pdfData);

More importantly it should be while (reader.Read()) rather than if (reader.Read())

Answer 2

您需要将Content-Type标头设置为application/pdf 。
