I'm not entirely sure if this is the right approach. My goal is to display a PDF in a new browser tab.
I have a method that generates a MemoryStream and returns it to my ajax call. What is the best procedure for achieving this?
Here is my Ajax Call:
$("#selector").click(function () {
urlToFunction = "/Controller/Function";
$.ajax({
url: urlToFunction,
data: ({ id: 12345 }),
type: 'GET',
success: function (response) {
???? here
},
error:
function (response) {
}
});
});
[HttpGet]
public async Task Print(int? id)
{
var ms = GETMemoryStreamPDF();
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf; charset=utf-8";
Response.Headers.Add("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=" + randomName + ".pdf;charset=utf-8'");
await Response.Body.WriteAsync(ms.GetBuffer(), 0, ms.GetBuffer().Length);
}
My question lies here:
success: function (response) {
???? here
},
What is the recommended practice for displaying my PDF in a new tab?
