is your download button a user control?

yes.
1)when user clicks Download button, Response.Redirect("Download.aspx").
2)In that page, on page load you can have a details like file name, etc & Save button
3)On click of save button you can have the savedialogbox (optional) or else give some default path like C://DownlOad & display the default location to user(but this is not so good as he/she may not have that drive )

Hi,

Use like this.

C#

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
   Server.Transfer("Page.aspx", true);

   // Code to download the file.
}
