- Post Back not occuring after pdf is downloaded 1 answer
I have a Webform which have some textboxes and dropdowns .
After clicking on Save button the data is saved in database and the pdf is generated using that data .
After the generation of pdf , the pdf file is opened in browser .
I've generated pdf file using a method then after i am calling a method to clear all fields .
After the pdf is generated , the user could press back button and can go back to previous page , Due to this reason I want all fields to be cleared but its not working . How can I resolve this ?
Here is my Code :
Save Button Code :
protected void btn_submit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (IsValidQuotation())
{
string newQuotNum = rental_quotations.GetNewQuotNumber();
double max_load = (Convert.ToDouble(generator_category.GetGeneratorDesc(ddl_gene_desc.SelectedValue)) * 0.8) * ((double)80 / (double)100);
double min_load = (Convert.ToDouble(generator_category.GetGeneratorDesc(ddl_gene_desc.SelectedValue)) * 0.8) * ((double)50 / (double)100);
rental_quotations.AddNewQuotation(newQuotNum, Session["empcd"].ToString(), ddl_gene_type.SelectedValue.ToString(), ddl_gene_desc.SelectedValue, ddl_canopy.SelectedValue, txt_company.Text, txt_address.Text, txt_contactperson.Text, txt_designation.Text, txt_contact1.Text, txt_contact2.Text, txt_rentalamount.Text, ddl_terms.SelectedValue, txt_hours.Text, txt_variable.Text, txt_remarks.Text, min_load.ToString(), max_load.ToString(),ddl_sign1.SelectedValue,ddl_sign2.SelectedValue);
GetPDF(newQuotNum);
}
}
This is the method where PDF is generated :
public void GetPDF(string quote_num)
{
string url = FilesPath.Path_SaveFile + Session["empcd"].ToString() +"-Quotation.pdf";
Document disclaimer = new Document(PageSize.A4, 2, 2, 10, 10);
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(disclaimer, new FileStream(url, FileMode.Create));
writer.PageEvent = new myPDFpgHandler(quote_num);
disclaimer.SetMargins(10, 10, 70,80);
disclaimer.Open();
GenerateQuotPDF getpdf = new GenerateQuotPDF();
disclaimer = getpdf.GetPDFparams(disclaimer,quote_num, Session["empcd"].ToString(),txt_contactperson.Text,txt_contact1.Text,txt_company.Text,txt_address.Text,ddl_gene_desc.SelectedItem.ToString(),ddl_canopy.SelectedItem.ToString(),ddl_gene_type.SelectedItem.ToString(),txt_rentalamount.Text,txt_hours.Text,txt_variable.Text,ddl_terms.SelectedItem.ToString(),txt_remarks.Text,txt_technical.Text,ddl_sign1.SelectedValue,ddl_sign2.SelectedValue,txt_designation.Text,DateTime.Now);
disclaimer.Close();
ClearAllFields(); // this is not working in back Case
System.IO.FileInfo file = new System.IO.FileInfo(url);
if (file.Exists)
{
WebClient client = new WebClient();
Byte[] buffer = client.DownloadData(url);
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.AddHeader("content-length", buffer.Length.ToString());
Response.BinaryWrite(buffer);
}
}
After the pdf is opened in the browser , the user could go back to that page and all fields are not cleared
How can I Handle this ???
Thanks for your Help
