I'm trying use the code to send a PDF to a browser using the Clock Sample, but there's something missing in the sample and I'm not sure what.

This is the code I use:

// Send PDF to browser
MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
document.Save(stream, false);
Response.Clear();
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.AddHeader("content-length", stream.Length.ToString());
Response.BinaryWrite(stream.ToArray());
Response.Flush();
stream.Close();
Response.End();

I'm getting the error "The name 'Response' does not exist in the current context" on the "Response.Clear()" line.

I tried creating an HttpResponse object called Response, but this needs a TextWriter, which then results in other issues, such as the "OutputStream is not available when a custom TextWriter is used." error message when I change it to on the "Response.BinaryWrite(stream.ToArray());" call.

// Send PDF to browser
MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
document.Save(stream, false);
StreamWriter txt = new StreamWriter(stream);
HttpResponse Response = new HttpResponse(txt);
Response.Clear();
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.AddHeader("content-length", stream.Length.ToString());
Response.BinaryWrite(stream.ToArray());
Response.Flush();
stream.Close();
Response.End();

So what am I missing/doing wrong?

Please help.

Are you using the sample source code from the source code package? If not, try that one.

Yes that's exactly what I'm using as you can see in the initial piece of code. It's an exact copy/paste from the sample.

// Send PDF to browser
MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
document.Save(stream, false);
Response.Clear();
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.AddHeader("content-length", stream.Length.ToString());
Response.BinaryWrite(stream.ToArray());
Response.Flush();
stream.Close();
Response.End();

I'm getting the error "The name 'Response' does not exist in the current context" on the "Response.Clear()" line. This makes sense as the Response object is never declared anywhere......

The code snippet doesn't tell me where it's coming from.

Response is a member of the base class Page.
You're copy is not exact, there's something wrong with the base class.
