Hi
I am developing a web application. In this application a user can download a file stored in Sql Server. How i do it is that i show the list of files in a datagrid. When user clicks on a corresponding download link in gridview the file is read from database and written in a temporary file on web server disk. Then i write the below code to download the file on client side.

Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
  Response.WriteFile("tempfile.pdf");
  Response.Flush();

All works fine and the pdf file gets opened in browser on client side. But what i want to do is that the pdf file should not be opened in browser, i want to show a save file dialog option on the client side so that client can save file in his disk without being opened in web browser.

Thanks in advance for any response.
