Create Report From Xml File C EnumDownload Excel file via AJAX MVCYou cant directly return a file for download via an AJAX call so, an alternative approach is to to use an AJAX call to post the related data to your server. You can then use server side code to create the Excel File I would recommend using EPPlus or NPOI for this although it sounds as if you have this part working. UPDATE September 2. My original answer below was over 3 years old, so I thought I would update as I no longer create files on the server when downloading files via AJAX however, I have left the original answer as it may be of some use still depending on your specific requirements. A common scenario in my MVC applications is reporting via a web page that has some user configured report parameters Date Ranges, Filters etc. When the user has specified the parameters they post them to the server, the report is generated say for example an Excel file as output and then I store the resulting file as a byte array in the Temp. Data bucket with a unique reference. This reference is passed back as a Json Result to my AJAX function that subsequently redirects to separate controller action to extract the data from Temp. Data and download to the end users browser. To give this more detail, assuming you have a MVC View that has a form bound to a Model class, lets call the Model Report. VM. First, a controller action is required to receive the posted model, an example would be public Action. Result Post. Report. PartialReport. VM model. Validate the Model is correct and contains valid data. Generate your report output based on the model parameters. This can be an Excel, PDF, Word file whatever you need. As an example lets assume weve generated an EPPlus Excel. Package. Excel. Package workbook new Excel. Package. Do something to populate your workbook.

Name. ifTemp. Datafile. Guid null. byte data Temp. Datafile. Guid as byte. Filedata, applicationvnd. Name. Problem Log the error, generate a blank file. Empty. Result. One other change that could easily be accommodated if required is to pass the MIME Type of the file as a third parameter so that the one Controller action could correctly serve a variety of output file formats. This removes any need for any physical files to created and stored on the server, so no housekeeping routines required and once again this is seamless to the end user. Note, the advantage of using Temp. Data rather than Session is that once Temp. Data is read the data is cleared so it will be more efficient in terms of memory usage if you have a high volume of file requests. See Temp. Data Best Practice. ORIGINAL Answer. You cant directly return a file for download via an AJAX call so, an alternative approach is to to use an AJAX call to post the related data to your server. You can then use server side code to create the Excel File I would recommend using EPPlus or NPOI for this although it sounds as if you have this part working. Once the file has been created on the server pass back the path to the file or just the filename as the return value to your AJAX call and then set the Java. Script window. location to this URL which will prompt the browser to download the file. From the end users perspective, the file download operation is seamless as they never leave the page on which the request originates. Below is a simple contrived example of an ajax call to achieve this. POST. url ReportsExport. My. Data. data dataprop. Type applicationjson charsetutf 8. Type json. success function return. Value. window. ReportsDownloadValue. ControllerAction method where your code will create the Excel file. Value would be the file name of your newly created Excel file.
