How do I forcefully open the save dialog box

[janakiraman]

Hi

I am doing ASP.NET 2.0 programming. In a web page, I have a link to download a file. When I click on the link, the browser is bring up the open / save dialog box. I want to forcefully open the Save dialog box. How do I do that?

I can have any type of file to be downloaded. We have a hyperlink control that initiates the download process.

Waiting for your valuable suggestions.

Thanks

Weather the browser opens a save dialog is dependent mostly on the browser settings. But I do remember something about certain mime types that often do this, but not 100% sure which ones that cause it. What type of files are you trying to force a save dialog for?
