Hi, So you can check @Manas and @Ravi provided references.They are provided good examples.Put a break point and check what happening inside the download method then only we know the exact error details. Check your file path. Check your code properly

Hi, @Manas : In actionlink firstname is display name and second name is method name but in ur given code " DownloadFile " method not present,Are you missed anything buddy :) . Check this code : In View page: @Html.ActionLink("Download", "Download", "Controller") In controller : public ActionResult Download() { string file = "your filepath" ; string contentType = "Mention content type here" ; return File(file, controntType, Path.GetFileName(file)); }
