How about Response.WriteFile?
I have something like this as part of a page:
Private Sub DownloadFile(ByVal ContentType As String, ByVal FileName As
String)
SendHeaders(ContentType, FileName)
SendFile(FileName)
End Sub
Private Sub SendHeaders(ByVal ContentType As String, ByVal FileName
As String)
Response.Clear()
Response.ContentType = ContentType
Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;
filename=" & FileName)
End Sub
Private Sub SendFile(ByVal FileName As String)
Dim sBaseDir As String = AppSettings.GetResourcesPath &
"/Download/"
Dim sPath As String = Server.MapPath(sBaseDir & FileName)
Response.WriteFile(sPath)
Response.End()
End Sub
