Example public class DownloadFile : IHttpHandler { public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context) { string fileName = "HelloWorld.pdf"; string filePath = "C:\\"; context.Response.Clear(); context.Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"; context.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + fileName); context.Response.WriteFile(filePath + fileName); context.Response.End(); } } This type of file is basically a lightwieght replacement to the typical aspx page. It has no UI and is ideal for returning simple requests such as a file.

Example

public class DownloadFile : IHttpHandler

{

    public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)

    {

            string fileName = "HelloWorld.pdf";

            string filePath = "C:\\";

            context.Response.Clear();

            context.Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";

            context.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + fileName);

            context.Response.WriteFile(filePath + fileName);

            context.Response.End();

    }

}
