In my code-behind, I dynamically create a PDF file based on user input and save it to a folder on the server. I now want to prompt the user to save and name it to their machine. I tried Page.Response.TransmitFile<wbr />, but in IE 9, this brings up a yellow bar along the bottom, asking if the user wants to open or save the file from the localhost.<br />
<br />
That's not what we want. Instead we want a file &quot;save as&quot; popup. (The same one you get when you right click an image and select &quot;Save image as...&quot; which allows you to specify a location and file name.)<br />
<br />
From that yellow bar I mentioned, you can get there if you select &quot;Save As&quot;, but I want to save the user a step and get right to that point. How can I do that programmatically?
