Hi, i need help for my application.

My problem is like this:I'm on Internet and i would like to download a
file.When i press the button 'Download', I don't want to see the common
dialog box of IE for the downloading, but i want to call directly a
WebForm of my ASP.net application in order to download the file through
this form. Is it possible?

And something else: How can i call the InternetExplorer when i run and
work on an asp.net application?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, have the request go to an .aspx file and Response.WriteFile the
file you want to download. There are some other approaches you can
also consider, here is a nice post outlining the tradeoffs:
