Hi,

try this you can show saveas dialog box

C#

Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg";
Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=SailBig.jpg");
Response.TransmitFile( Server.MapPath("~/images/sailbig.jpg") );
Response.End();

Here you can change contentType as your requirement.

All the Best

Can you please be more specific as to where to write this code on click of hyperlink?

sure

place linkbutton instead of hyperlink

otherwise
directly write as code

<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" runat="server" NavigateUrl ="Downloads/hosting.rar">HyperLink
browser can show bydefault for rar or zip files when you write like this

and write this code in linkbutton click event.
