asp.net ext.net show file in browser new window

Question

Our asp.net application uses EXT.NET. When a "View" menu is clicked, an EXT.NET window shows up with a content of a PDF file. The problem is we can't drag and drop that window to a body of an Outlook email (to make it as the email attachment).

I am thinking one of the way to drag and drop to a body of an Outlook email is to show the PDF file in the browser window, not an EXT.NET window. How can I do that ? Thank you.

This is from the View (Index.cshtml):

@{
ViewBag.Title = "Archive";
var X = Html.X();
}

@section SPAViews {
@(
X.Viewport().Layout(LayoutType.Fit).Items(
X.TabPanel().ID("ArchiveTabPanel")
.Items(
        X.GridPanel().ID("GridPanel1").MarginSpec("1 1 1 1").Cls("cust-grid").Title("Archive").Icon(Icon.ServerCompressed)
        .Plugins(X.GridFilters())
        .View(Html.X().GridView().StripeRows(true).TrackOver(false))
        .SelectionModel(X.CheckboxSelectionModel().Mode(SelectionMode.Multi))
        .TopBar(
            X.Toolbar().MinHeight(35)
                .Items(
            :
                            , X.Button()
                                    .Text("View")
                                    .Icon(Icon.PageWhiteAcrobat)
                                        .DirectEvents(de =>
                                        {
                                            de.Click.Action = "Submit";
                                            de.Click.EventMask.ShowMask = true;
                                            de.Click.Method = HttpMethod.POST;
                                            de.Click.ExtraParams.Add(new Parameter()
                                            {
                                                Name = "selection",
                                                Value = "getselection()",
                                                Mode = ParameterMode.Raw
                                            });
                                            de.Click.Timeout = 360000;
                                        })

This is from ArchiveController.cs:

    public ActionResult Submit(string selection)
    {
            int cnt = SetTempData(selection);
            RenderWindows(String.Format("View Archive {0}.",cnt),0,cnt);
            return this.Direct();
   }

    [ChildActionOnly]
    public void RenderWindows(string title,int download,int cnt)
    {
        Window win = new Window
        {
            ID = "Windows1",
            Title = title,
            Icon = Ext.Net.Icon.PageWhiteAcrobat,
            Height = download == 1 ? 150 : 600,
            Width = download == 1 ? 400 : 800,
            BodyPadding = 2,
            Modal = true,
            Layout = "Fit",
            CloseAction = CloseAction.Destroy,
            Loader = new ComponentLoader()
            {
                Url = Url.Action("ArcTicket", "Archive"),
                Mode = LoadMode.Frame,
                DisableCaching = true,
                ShowWarningOnFailure = true,
                LoadMask = { ShowMask = true, Msg = String.Format("Generating {0} pdf ...",cnt) }
            },
            Buttons = {
                new Button(){ Text="Close & Clear", Icon=Ext.Net.Icon.TableRowDelete, Handler="App.GridPanel1.selModel.deselectAll();App.Windows1.close();"},
                new Button(){ Text="Close", Icon=Ext.Net.Icon.Cancel, Handler="App.Windows1.close();"}
                    }
        };
        win.Loader.Params.Add(new Parameter() { Name = "download", Value = download.ToString(), Mode = ParameterMode.Value });
        win.Render(RenderMode.Auto);
    }

    public FileStreamResult ArcTicket(int download)
    {
        String id = TempData["xid"].ToString();
        TempData.Remove("xid");
        String ticket = Uow.TICKETs.GetXmlBatch(id);

        Byte[] pdf = MvcApplication.Fop.Write(enumFobFormat.Pdf
                            , ticket
                            , Server.MapPath("/Resources/xslt/Ticket.xsl")
                            );

        MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(pdf);
        FileStreamResult fs = new FileStreamResult(ms, "application/pdf");
        if (download == 1)
            fs.FileDownloadName = string.Format("Archive_{0:yyyyMMdd_HHmmss}.pdf", DateTime.Now);

        return fs;
    }

Answer 1

You can make normal button / link with href to ArcTicket action with target="_blank" then it will be opened in new tab

Update:

Change .TopBar to something like this. Option 1 may be problematic because of dynamic parameter from grid and i am not sure it will be possible to pass it there

Option 1:

.TopBar(
            X.Toolbar().MinHeight(35)
                .Items(
            :
                            , X.Button()
                                    .Text("View")
                                    .Icon(Icon.PageWhiteAcrobat)
                                    .Href(Url.Action("ArcTicket", "Archive"))
                                    .HrefTarget("blank")
                                    .BaseParams("yourparameters")

Option 2

.TopBar(
            X.Toolbar().MinHeight(35)
                .Items(
            :
                            , X.Button()
                                    .Text("View")
                                    .Icon(Icon.PageWhiteAcrobat)
                                    .Handler("YourJSFUnctionWithWIndowOpen")
