//You can assign this method to a Button Click event: private void DownloadFile() { Response.Clear(); Response.AppendHeader(content-disposition attachment; filename=Document.ext); //Depending of the file format you want to download type would need to be changed Response.ContentType = text/plain; //File path on the application Response.WriteFile(Server.MapPath(../Documents/Document.ext)); Response.Flush(); Response.End(); return; } //Hope this help you
