save as dialogue currupts file

Posted 30 July 2010 - 08:46 AM

I am using the following code to force save as dialogue to deliver PDF file to the client using my client portal on https. When the client saves file and tries to open it he gets error: "file is damaged and could not be repaired". But when I send the same file to client as an attachment in the email, it opens successfully.
Please let me know what is wrong in the save as dialogue code and how to correct it.

 Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
                Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + FName);

                FileStream sourceFile = new FileStream(TargetFile, FileMode.Open);
                long FileSize;
                FileSize = sourceFile.Length;
                byte[] getContent = new byte[(int)FileSize];
                sourceFile.Read(getContent, 0, (int)sourceFile.Length);
                sourceFile.Close();
                Response.BinaryWrite(getContent);

Thank You.
