web form and session: Web Form and PDF

I'd like to display a web form at the top of an ASP.NET page and a PDF from
a SQL Server database directly below the web form.

Currently, I'm getting a PDF stored in the database and using BinaryWrite
to display just the PDF.

I'm using ASP 1.1 and VB.NET.

- CherylYou could use Frames

Frames opens the PDF in another window, not on the same page.

I think opening the PDF in another window is the way PDF is intended to
function. I think this will be OK for what I need. I'll use an iFrame.

Thank you for responding to my question!!

Your only choice is to use an iframe to hold the PDF

Using an iFrame still opens the PDF in another window. What am I missing?

Thank you.

Technically an iframe is another window, only one that can be embedded into
a web page, hence your form can be at the top of the page with your PDF
displayed below it. Your iframe should be requesting the PDF (asp.net page)
and it should load in the iframe. Probably worth your while pasting a code
sample here.

Hi John,

Here's the code:

HTML:

<div id="divPDF" style="VISIBILITY: hidden" runat="server">

<iframe id="ifPDF" src="http://pics.10026.com/?src=test.htm" width="100%" style="HEIGHT:50em"
runat="server">[Your
browser does <em>not</em> support <code>iframe</code>, or has been
configured
not to display inline frames.] </iframe>
</div>
VB:

Dim inData() As Byte = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("SMIflood-" &
Loanid)Dim outData() As Byte = New
System.Security.Cryptography.MD5CryptoServiceProvi der().ComputeHash(inData)
Dim sb As New System.Text.StringBuilder(32)
Dim b As Byte
For Each b In outData
sb.Append(b.ToString("X2"))
Next

Dim pdfTempPath As String = Server.MapPath("./TempFiles/" & sb.ToString &
".pdf")
Dim ios As IO.FileStream = IO.File.Create(pdfTempPath)
Dim pdfBytes() As Byte = GetRawImage(LoanID)
ios.Write(pdfBytes, 0, pdfBytes.Length)
ios.Close()
divPDF.Style("VISIBILITY") = "Visible"
ifPDF.Attributes("SRC") = "TempFiles/" & sb.ToString & ".pdf"

Hi John

I think I solved the mystery. I took a look at my Adobe Reader preferences,
and I saw that "Display in Browser" wasn't checked. I checked the checkbox,
and now my PDF displays in the iFrame!

Thanks for your help, John.
