Sending File from Server to WebClient via Response

I want to press a Linkbutton (in a DatagridItem) and return a file that is
not shared in the IIS. I want to disallow "deeplinking".

The following code works fine (it sends the file I want) but I want it to be
parallel to the webpage, not replacing the page with the datagrid.. how do I
force the file download to a new window?
Public Sub SendFile(ByVal Filepath As String)
Response.Clear()

Response.ContentType = "octet/stream"

Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "outline;
filename=filetosend.mp3")

Response.Flush()

Response.WriteFile(Filepath)

Response.Flush()

End Sub

Best Regards

My understanding is that if the browser sees that this is not a content he
should processed, the current windows is left intact.

What is the "outline" content-disposition ? (I'm using "attachment" to force
a file download). Aslo you could try wihtout the content-type that is likely
not needed in this cotnext...

Let us know
