    Response.Charset = "";
    Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
    Response.ContentType = dt.Rows[0]["ContentType"].ToString();

Yes when you are using BinaryWrite that is stream a byte array or write the output directly. 

The way to do this is to use http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/12s31dhy%28vs.80%29.aspx to explicitly send the file from your ASP.NET application and then add the Content Type and Content-Disposition headers.

For example:





Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg";


Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=SailBig.jpg");


Response.TransmitFile( Server.MapPath("~/images/sailbig.jpg") );


Response.End();








This will cause a Open / Save As dialog box to pop up with the filename of SailBig.jpg as the default filename preset.



hope this helps you

Hi...



See the below code for save dialog box and desired location:




string FileName = "";
SaveFD1.InitialDirectory = "C:";
SaveFD1.FileName = "";
SaveFD1.Title = "Save File As";
SaveFD1.Filter = "Text Files|*.txt|All Files|*.xls|*.*";
if (SaveFD1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
FileName = SaveFD1.FileName;
 
richTextBox1.SaveFile(FileName, RichTextBoxStreamType.PlainText);
}

Use this code -



 string filepath ="path";



            byte[] data = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(filepath);

            Response.Clear();

            Response.ClearHeaders();

            Response.AddHeader("Content-Type", "Application/octet-stream");

            Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", data.Length.ToString());

            Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + filepath);

            Response.BinaryWrite(data);

            Response.End();





Try this and let me know;\
