I have a web site where the user is able to download a file. I can't use an
anchor tag because I don't want the user to see where the filename is coming
from. Below is the code in which the user clicks to get the file. I could
swear this used to work but it definitely doesn't now. Each time at the

Take the Response.End() out of it. That method raises the exception, and is
unnecessary. In fact, all of the clearing of the Response is also
unnecessary, unless you've already sent some of the Response.

Kevin, I took out the .end method and much to my surprise, now it streams
the text of my index.aspx page. So for example, I am testing with a text
file called test.htm. It's content is only the word test. When my code bit
from below runs, the browser pops up a save/open dialogue. The file name
suggested is "index" with no known extension. If I save the file and open
it, I see the following
test
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<title>File Transferring Page</title>
etc.
My whole index.aspx is streamed.
Any ideas?

Looks like you've still got some HTML in your Page Template (ASPX file). If
you remove everything but the @Page directive, it should be fine.

That's what I meant. The HTML that VS.Net adds to your page is due to the
fact that an HTML document is what an ASPX page returns ALMOST all the time.
Streaming a file is one of the exceptions. In that case, you don't want any
additional content streamed to the browser; just what you send via your
code.
