ASP.NET Generic Handler Not Downloading .pptx (PowerPoint) And .pdf Files Properly

-
Hello,

There was a question raised in the forums as to why the generic handler doesn't download properly PowerPoint and PDF (.ppt/.pdf) files using Firefox but works perfectly using chrome and IE. The solution is to add a content-disposition header and set the ContentType property of context.Response.

Sub ProcessRequest(ByVal context As HttpContext) Implements IHttpHandler.ProcessRequest
 
        Dim documentID As Int32
        If Not context.Request.QueryString("documentID") Is Nothing Then
            documentID = Convert.ToInt32(context.Request.QueryString("documentID"))
        Else
            Throw New ArgumentException("No parameter specified")
        End If
  
        Dim strm As Stream = ShowDocument(documentID)
        context.Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" & fileName.Replace(" ", "_") & ".pptx")
        context.Response.ContentType = docType
  
        If ShowDocument(documentID) Is Nothing Then
        Else
            strm = ShowDocument(documentID)
            Dim buffer As Byte() = New Byte(4095) {}
            Dim byteSeq As Integer = strm.Read(buffer, 0, 4096)
 
            Do While byteSeq > 0
                context.Response.OutputStream.Write(buffer, 0, byteSeq)
                byteSeq = strm.Read(buffer, 0, 4096)
            Loop
        End If
 
    End Sub

Here's an example of a WPF CRUD (Create,Update and Delete) project using the DataGrid control, ADO.NET Entity Framework 6.x, C#.NET and Model–View–Viewmodel(MVVM) architectural pattern.

Good day Gents! I was trying to update my Microsoft Teams status and was wondering if I can add or insert emoji. For editing or adding new teams status, only text fields are available and there's no emoji icon similar to writing a teams message. After googling for a few minutes, I found this link Emoji's in status which is a feature request in Microsoft Teams User's Voice Forum. So far this upgrade request only has thirty votes which is relatively small and may be considered a low priority for the product team to implement. Given the limitations at hand, I tried several approach including copying an emoji in a chat message which didn't work and later found a solution using Microsoft Outlook 365. First is to create a new email message in Microsoft Outlook and press (Window Key + .). The emoji dropdown control will appear. Next is to select the emoji that you wanted to add to Teams. Copy the emoji from the newly created email message template and paste that to Micr

Good afternoon fellow developers! I have been working with Bootstrap Modals before and it's time to demonstrate its significance using a simple ASP.NET MVC CRUD (Create Update Delete) application project using Entity Framework Database First approach.
