FilePathResult thrown an OutOfMemoryException with large file
asp.net-mvc, c#
Solution
It is because your request is using `PageInspector` as indicated by this line of your stack trace:
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.PageInspector.Runtime.Tracing.ArteryFilter.Write(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 count) +106
To fix this, uncheck the browser checkbox in `Visual Studio` as in the following screen shot:
Problem
I have this Action in my controller which returns a file to the user. ``` public virtual ActionResult ReturnFile(string fileName, string filePath, string contentType) { var cd = new System.Net.Mime.ContentDisposition { FileName = fileName, // always prompt the user for downloading, set to true if you want // the browser to try to show the file inline Inline = false, }; // set token for close the modal-window CookiesHelper.SetValueDownloadTokenInCookie(); Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", cd.ToString()); return File(filePath, contentType); } ``` It is working fine, but the problem is that when the file is large (a little more than 220 Mb) it is throwing an `OutOfMemoryException`. This is the Stack Trace ``` [OutOfMemoryException: Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown.] System.IO.MemoryStream.set_Capacity(Int32 value) +93 System.IO.MemoryStream.EnsureCapacity(Int32 value) +64 System.IO.MemoryStream.Write(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 count) +330 Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.PageInspector.Runtime.Tracing.ArteryFilter.Write(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 count) +106 System.Web.HttpWriter.FilterIntegrated(Boolean finalFiltering, IIS7WorkerRequest wr) +9509748 System.Web.HttpResponse.FilterOutput() +104 System.Web.CallFilterExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication.IExecutionStep.Execute() +49 System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously) +69 ``` Any ideas?
