I assume you the following. 1) You are able to successfully generate the excelsheet in a folder on the server. 2) You would like to allow the end user to download the generated excel file on clicking a button or something on the browser. In the button click you need to write the following code. FileStream sourceFile = new FileStream(Server.MapPath(@FileName) FileMode.Open); float FileSize; FileSize = sourceFile.Length; byte[] getContent = new byte[(int)FileSize]; sourceFile.Read(getContent 0 (int)sourceFile.Length); sourceFile.Close(); Response.ClearContent(); Response.ClearHeaders(); Response.Buffer = true; Response.ContentType = ReturnExtension(file.Extension.ToLower()); Response.AddHeader(Content-Length getContent.Length.ToString()); Response.AddHeader(Content-Disposition attachment; filename= + FileName); Response.BinaryWrite(getContent); Response.Flush(); Response.End(); Hope it helped Thanks Prawin
