    <p>I have a page that when a user clicks a button, a PDF is dynamically generated and offered for them to download.</p> <p>This is the code that's letting the user download the pdf:</p> <pre><code>// Omitted code that generates the pdf bytes response.ContentType = "application/octetstream"; response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + filename); response.BinaryWrite(pdfBytes); response.End(); </code></pre> <p>On my machine and many others using a mixture of Chrome, IE 7/8/9b and Firefox, this is working as expected; the user clicks the button, the PDF gets downloaded.</p> <p>On some instances of IE7, our users are reporting that they are getting an error message:</p> <p>"Internet Explorer cannot download Publish.aspx from thesite.com</p> <p>Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either not available or cannot be found. Please try again later".</p> <p>Publish.aspx is the page that the button is residing on, so that page <em>is</em> available. IE should be downloading the pdf.</p> <p>Is there anything that is wrong with the above code that could be causing this on certain machines? Or is it down to particular security / OS / browser settings?</p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>These are the response headers from fiddler:</p> <pre><code>HTTP/1.1 200 OK Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate Pragma: no-cache Content-Type: application/octetstream Expires: -1 Server: Microsoft-IIS/7.5 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=myPdf.pdf X-AspNet-Version: 2.0.50727 X-Powered-By: ASP.NET Date: Fri, 12 Nov 2010 09:48:06 GMT Content-Length: 45772 </code></pre>

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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
