    <p>At my place of work, we have an ASP.NET page that uses the following code to perform a file download. We use this rather than Request.TransmitFile() because the file is coming directly from a zip archive.</p> <pre><code> private void DownloadStream(Stream stream) { int bytesRead; int chunkSize = 1048576; //1MB byte[] readBuffer = new byte[chunkSize]; while ( (bytesRead = stream.Read(readBuffer, 0, readBuffer.Length)) &gt; 0) { if (!Response.IsClientConnected) break; Response.OutputStream.Write(readBuffer, 0, bytesRead); Response.Flush(); } } </code></pre> <p>I'm trying to determine a reasonable value for the httpRuntime executionTimeout setting. The files being sent range up to 1GB in size, and some of our users have very slow pipes<sup>*</sup> to the webserver (think 64K lines). We don't want these users to experience connection resets. However, we want to keep a reasonable timeout value for the rest of the site. </p> <p>Is there a way to define an executionTimeout setting <i>only</i> for this specific page (or even make it unlimited for that page specifically)? What's the recommended approach? I know we'd probably be better off using a totally different method to serve the files (e.g. FTP), but we don't have the freedom to make that choice. All we can do is modify the code for the site.</p> <p>Also, I <i>do</i> think these downloads should be compressed before sending, but that's another matter.</p> <p>*Off-topic question: Is "slow pipe" an annoyingly mixed metaphor? I should probably say "small pipe" instead, but that sounds strange to me in this context. Opinions?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
