Try this out, We can change the content type to open a file, This code will open document: Response.Clear(); Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + sOrigFilename); Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", oFileInfo.Length.ToString()); Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream"; Response.WriteFile(sFullFilePath); Response.End(); This will used to open an excel file: Response.Clear(); Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + "c:\\Test\\Test.xls"); Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", oFileInfo.Length.ToString()); Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"; Response.WriteFile("c:\\Test\\Test.xls"); Response.end Ram
