Hi Gomathi We do not have any such controls in ASP.Net. Basically web controls have the option to upload and download the files in the browser. But in the .Net Windows application you can such controls to save. When you download any files from the web server then some of the browsers will popup the dialog to select and save the downloading file into selected location. Place this code into page_load in the asp.net application then it will popup you to save into your computer location. XmlDocument doc = New XmlDocument() doc.LoadXml(  COOKING > en >Everyday Italian Giada De Laurentiis 2005 30.00  ) Response.ContentType = text/plain Response.AppendHeader( Content-Disposition  attachment; filename=test.xml ) doc.Save(Response.OutputStream) If this helps you to get answer then mark it as Accepted Answer

Hi All How does one receive only the pure xml without page content following the xml? My method is different but with same results: //populate doc //then... HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = text/xml; HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8; doc.Save(HttpContext.Current.Response.Output);

hi ASP.NET application is running in a browser(client's computer). You does not access to the user's file system including the Save As dialog. However if you send the user a file as an attachment most browsers will display a dialog asking the user whether to save the file or open it. Maybe the user will choose to save it. hope this help.
