Hi!

How can I force the file download, for example a .doc?
I don't want to open with IE.

Thanks.

Response.Clear();

objFileInfo = new FileInfo(strFile); // fully-qualified filespec

Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" +
objFileInfo.Name);

Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", objFileInfo.Length.ToString());

Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream";

Response.WriteFile(objFileInfo.FullName);
