Problem Launching ADOBE from Web Hosting Site

I use the below code to display a pdf file. When I run this from visual studio on my local pc adobe launches and displays the pdf file normally. When I deploy the same code to the web hosting site adobe does not launch. I simply get a blank screen. Has anyone else experienced this problem?


outbyte = (byte[])attribRow.modelPicture;
Response.ClearContent();
Response.ClearHeaders();
Response.BufferOutput = true;
Response.ContentType = 'Application/pdf';
Response.BinaryWrite(outbyte);

Actually I only experience the problem running IE. Adobe launches properly when using Firefox.

 

You are missing the headers.

Response.AddHeader("content-disposition","attachment; filename=mypdf.pdf");

Thanks for the post. I am reading the pdf file from a blob in the database so I believe that this is already present. I only seem to have the issue when using IE. If I use Firefox the adobe launches and the pdf is displayed correctly.

I have checked this issue on Google. I am using IE7 and apparently there are problems with IE7 and pdf files.
