MVC FileResult cannot set filename

Posted by Community Admin on 08-Oct-2014 00:00

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to add a simple CSV export button to an MVC widget. Everything is working as expected, with the exception of the downloaded file's name. When I click the button, the file is sent to my browser, but the filename is blank. Does anyone have an idea what the problem could be? Relevant code is below. I'm using the latest version of Sitefinity, 7.2.

public FileResult Download()

var attendees = _meetingService.GetMeetingAttendees(MeetingID);

using (var writer = new StringWriter(new StringBuilder()))

using (var csvHelper = new CsvHelper.CsvWriter(writer))

csvHelper.Configuration.RegisterClassMap<AttendeeCsvMap>();

csvHelper.WriteRecords<MeetingAttendee>(attendees);

return File(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(writer.ToString()), "text/csv", "CL2015Attendees.csv");
