ASP.NET in a Nutshell

Name

ClearContent

Synopsis

Response.ClearContent(  )

Clears the content of the current output stream.

Parameters

None

Example

The example writes a text message using Response.Write and then clears the buffered output by calling Response.Clear. If buffering is on, the text message will never be sent to the browser.

Sub Page_Load(  )
   Response.Write("This content will not be seen.")
   Response.Clear(  )
   Message.Text = _
      "Content written with <i>Response.Write</i> was cleared."
End Sub

Notes

The ClearContent method clears all currently buffered output, but does not clear the HTTP response headers. HTTP headers can be cleared by calling the ClearHeaders method. If buffering of output has been disabled by setting the BufferOutput property to False, the ClearContent method will not have any effect, since it only clears buffered content.
