The name Response does not exist in the current context.

Question

hi all When i use Response in my project it shows The name 'Response' does not exist in the current context. How to solve this problem.

Samarth Srivastava · Answer

This question was asked long ago hopefully everyone got the correct answers but just for the record and hopefully someone searching for the answer will get it here. First thing Response is a property of Page class (system.web.ui.page). It is available or we can say it is incontext in code behind files (.aspx.cs files) because that class is a child ofsystem.web.ui.pageclass. But it is not available in other classes because theydo not inherit Page class. Simply having Web Application does not mean that Response should be available there. Hope this clears all doubts. Cheers.

ExportOptions CrExportOptions = default(ExportOptions); DiskFileDestinationOptions CrDiskFileDestinationOptions = new DiskFileDestinationOptions(); PdfRtfWordFormatOptions CrFormatTypeOptions = new PdfRtfWordFormatOptions(); CrDiskFileDestinationOptions.DiskFileName = c:\crystalExport.pdf; CrExportOptions = cryRpt.ExportOptions; var _with1 = CrExportOptions; _with1.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile; _with1.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat; _with1.DestinationOptions = CrDiskFileDestinationOptions; _with1.FormatOptions = CrFormatTypeOptions; cryRpt.Export(); HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = application/vdn.pdf; HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader(Content-Disposition attachment; filename=v.pdf); HttpContext.Current.Response.WriteFile(c:\crystalExport.pdf); HttpContext.Current.Response.Flush();

Ruchi R · Answer

system.web is already added in the namespace. and if i use HttpContext.Response in place of Response also it shows the message like The name 'HttpContext' does not exist in the current context.

Subhendu De · Answer

Try using System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response Also confirm System.Web reference is added and listed in using section. Thanks.....

Ruchi R · Answer

i am trying to export the crystal report to pdf . I am developing it in c#.net. When i tried to use Response in the btnExport_click event it is showing the above message.

John Burns · Answer

Hi Ruchi R what you want to make sure is that 'Response' is visible to the class you are using it in and remember to check the case sensitivity on Response as well. John
