link to open txt file in notepad

a simple aspx page just needs to send a particular .txt file to stream so
that it opens up in Notepad on client side. Using ContentType = "text/plain"
it still opens in IE browser as a html file, what trick is needed?

Do you have the http-header Content-Disposition=attachment ?

Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment");

or even

Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition",
"attachment;filename=file.txt");
