I'm using IS for a project, and have the need for significant manipulation of excel files. I've found a great product for this, aspose.cells. I am attempting to open a spreadsheet, then stream it directly to the client browser as a pdf (without saving it to a file). This is actually done in 2 lines of code with aspose:
'Output to PDF
workbook.Save("Report.pdf", SaveType.OpenInBrowser, FileFormatType.Pdf, Response)
Response.End()
The problem is this code works perfectly in a non-IS project, but I get a "can't parse response" error within Iron Speed. Incidentally, the "response" parameter has to be changed to me.page.response.
I don't expect anyone to dig into aspose cells for me, but I'm hoping you'll see a solution regardless.
Thanks,
da

Thanks very much. Setting SmoothPanelUpdate to false did the trick.
I'll ask you another question though: I have a themed button in a table row running custom code to generate this excel spreadsheet (by getting SQL Server field values), then output it as a pdf to the client browser. It's now working great, but I'd greatly prefer if the output went to a new browser window (or tab). The IS articles I've read seem to suggest this can't be done. Any suggestions?

Akesh,
It's been since July when you posted the suggestion:
"To add to Jing's idea, you can always enable full post back on the button by adding an attribute of PostBack with value of True which might work."
I just want you to know that turned out to be a great solution which I would have NEVER found by myself. The errors returned executing in VS2008 indicated something was wrong in my response, like a bad response.write, but I have yet to find the postback=True attribute documented in Iron Speed.
So, here's to you Sport! Six weeks later and I remain truly grateful.
