Yes, you can force a dialog box that will ask the user whether they'd like
to open or save the file:
Response.Clear()
Response.ContentType = Whatever
Response.Writefile("c:\whatever.iif")
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition",
"attachment;filename=whatever.iif")
Response.End()
Here are more details:

Hi
I have a link on a page that points to a file inside the site that I want
to
be downloaded
loke in page_load I write
linkFile.NavigateUrl = Request.ApplicationPath + "/somepath/file.iif";
This file is a text file so when user clicks onthat link it displays in
the
browser
the contents of that file (it is a text file although with ext iif)
How do i force browser to display dialog like where to save it?
Thanks
GSL
