Just creating a link to the file is simpler, but try this...
Response.CacheControl = "no-cache"
Response.ContentType = "text/csv"
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", " "filename=""" + _filename + """")
Response.WriteFile(_dirfilename)
Response.Flush()
Response.End()
The Response.End() should keep any other html from the calling page out.
