Hi,
In my project, when i do Response.redirect(file); , It shows download box for the files which are not supported by browsers but for supported files it shows them in browser itself instead of downloading. I want to open download box for all types of file. How can i do so?

Thanks!

It worked!
That exception was because of Update Panel.
Thanks!
