Hello,
I am using a fileContentResult to render a file to the browser. It works well except that it throws an exception when the fileName contains international characters. I remember reading somewhere that this feature does not support international characters but I am sure there mustbe a workaround or a best practice people follow in cases the application needs to upload files in countries other than US.
Does anyone know of such a practice?Here is the ActionResult Method
public ActionResult GetFile(byte[] value, string fileName)
{
string fileExtension = Path.GetExtension(fileName);
string contentType = GetContentType(fileExtension); //gets the content Type
return File(value, contentType, fileName);
}
THanks in advance
Susan
