creating temporary URL for data download

[joshuvaThalari]

Hi,

I want to create functionality to allow the user to download data..the flow is as follows

1.click download data button
2.show file names as hyperlinks to download data.
3.User clicks on file name hyperlink,then we want to send a temporary url in an email for the user to download data.

our files to download are zip files and the main reason for temporary download url is to restrict unauthorized access from remote users

I dont know how to create a temporary URL which expires after sometime, any help appreciated..thanks

This is more of an ASP.NET / WCF question (or what ever technology you use on your server end). This is not something that Silverlight would be able to do (other than present the link itself). Try asking the question in the ASP.NET forums on MSDN.
