asp.net: Create a virtual file programmatically, then download it to the clients computer.

I'm trying to programmatically create a .txt file then download it a client's computer. The only condition is that I do not want to save the file to the server; everything has to be virtual.

Here is the Pseudo-code to give you a better idea of what I'm trying to do:

dim file as file
file.type = ".txt."
file.contents("some text")
'Prompt user to then download this file

Really, I'm just expecting a "point in the right direction" rather than an answer. I prefer VB.NET but C# is fine.

Thanks.
Is there a guide or tutorial page out there that could elaborate on this process?

I'll use it, but I'd like to have a comprehensive understanding of what I'm doing.
