Hi there. I have saved an MS word file to my database. I retrieve the following fields when accessing the DB: byte[], filename, extension I now want to, in code behind, open an "Download to" window, where i can save the file on my local machine. P.S i dont just save word files... i want to save any type of file. Can anyone help me with the problem?

Basically, you set the header to say you're downloading the file, and then stuff the bytes of the file into there. You should ask ASP.NET questions in the ASP.NET forum BTW.

Response.ContentType="application/zip"; Response.AddHeader( "content-disposition","attachment; filename="+filename); Response.BinaryWrite(byteArray); Response.End(); That will cause whatever you want, to be written to the browser so the user downloads it.
