How to show a FileContentResult containing pdf data into browser
I have a byte array containing data of a pdf file which I have read from remote:
byte filedata = webClient.DownloadData(fPath);
I am sending the filedata from controller to view in an ajax call:
Response.Headers.Add("Content - Disposition", "inline; filename = test.pdf");
return File(files[0], "application/pdf");
I want to show that pdf file on the browser, I have created an element in my html but I don't know how to show the file.
Could somebody please help me with this?
Thanks
javascript c# ajax asp.net-mvc

You will need to open the URL corresponding to that controller action.

won't the page reload in that case? I want to maintain the same web page and update just the embed section with the pdf file. Is that possible?

You could look at a 3rd party js library maybe. I don't think you can do it just in mvc

Do you want to show the pdf in a new window, or the same one in some form of control?

I have a system that displays PDFs. I utilise a view that contains an IFrame. So suppose you have a button that says "View File", I have this open up the view that contains the IFrame. The source of the frame points to the controller action that returns your File result.
<iframe id="iframepdf" src="@Url.Action("ReturnMyFile", "MyController",
new { filePath = pathToFile})"></iframe>
You can pass the path as a variable to get the file bytes from where they are kept.
This then renders the Pdf within the IFrame
Hope that helps
