MIME type and application

[Guest]

I have a proprietary application "A" and a proprietary file extension *.xyz. If I double click on the file filename.xyz, it will be opened by application "A". My question is how to do that through *aspx page. The goal here is to dynamically generate the *.xyz based some kind of id and connect the generated file with application "A". I looked through registry and it didn't seems there is mime type associated with it. Any ideas? articles?

Thanks
Qin
