Nice!  is there a built-in control to change the filename presented in the "save as" dialogue box? 

No, but a cool idea to add that as another attribute! Could you add to Codeplex?

Added to http://umbraco.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=24700

It would be nice to be able to do this without using (even short snippets of) inline c# in templates.  Also would be a better separation of concerns, with no behavioural code in xsl.

Cheers again

How do i use this?

Is it possible to get the filename from the querystring?

Hi Peter

For this package, you simply set the filename and MIME type once when you insert it in a template, then put your output xslt in the same template and when your user visits the page they'll be prompted to download the output of your xslt using the supplied filename and MIME type.

I think for passing the filename via a querystring that the c# function in xslt is your best bet, see below (and http://our.umbraco.org/projects/change-output/general/4246-Also-possible-using-inline-script-in-xslt)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [ <!ENTITY nbsp "&#x00A0;"> ]>
<xsl:stylesheet 
        version="1.0" 
        xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" 
        xmlns:msxml="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt" 
        xmlns:gecko="urn:gecko-com:xslt"
        xmlns:umbraco.library="urn:umbraco.library" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltCommon="urn:Exslt.ExsltCommon" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes="urn:Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltMath="urn:Exslt.ExsltMath" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions="urn:Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltStrings="urn:Exslt.ExsltStrings" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltSets="urn:Exslt.ExsltSets" 
        exclude-result-prefixes="msxml umbraco.library Exslt.ExsltCommon Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes Exslt.ExsltMath Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions Exslt.ExsltStrings Exslt.ExsltSets gecko">
<xsl:output method="text" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>


<msxml:script language="CSharp" implements-prefix="gecko">
<msxml:assembly name="System.Web" />
<msxml:using namespace="System.Web" />
 
<![CDATA[
public void changeOutPut(String ContentType, String FileName) {
        HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = ContentType;
        HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=" + FileName);
}
]]>

</msxml:script>


<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>

<xsl:variable name="fileName">
   <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="string-length(umbraco.library:Request('filename')) &gt; 0">
         <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:Request('filename')"/>
        </xsl:when>
     <xsl:otherwise>
         <xsl:text>defaultFilename.extension</xsl:text>
        </xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>

<xsl:template match="/">
        <xsl:value-of select="gecko:changeOutPut('text/csv',$fileName)" />
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Then just pass the filename via page.aspx?filename=whatever.csv

Hope this helps,
Dan
