Download all type of file in mvc - sounds
Download file of any type in Asp.Net MVC using FileResult?
I've had it suggested to me that I should use FileResult to allow users to download files from my Asp.Net MVC application. But the only examples of this I can find always has to do with image files (specifying content type image/jpeg).
But what if I can't know the file type? I want users to be able to download pretty much any file from the filearea of my site.
I had read one method of doing this (see a previous post for the code), that actually works fine, except for one thing: the name of the file that comes up in the Save As dialog is concatenated from the file path with underscores (folder_folder_file.ext). Also, it seems people think I should return a FileResult instead of using this custom class that I had found BinaryContentResult.
Anyone know the "correct" way of doing such a download in MVC?
EDIT: I got the answer (below), but just thought I should post the full working code if someone else is interested:
