I'm currently trying to write data (client machine) into a xml file where the user can save. However, I want the users to be able to decide on where they want to save this written xml file. Is there any controls or codes that I can use to allow the users to save the file?.

I believe this question has been asked before but I still couldn't find the appropriate answer.
My scenario is like this:
When the user click on a button, it will dynamically generate a .xls and prompt the user to download.I have used transmitfile but it doesn't allows the file to be deleted. I have also used outputstream.write but it doesn't delete the file after flush. Instead it will hold onto the .xls and no modification can be done to the file.
Does anyone know how this is possible? I can retrieve the file, but I cannot figure out or find anywhere online how to prompt the user where he/she wants to download the file to.

I am downloading file from database using the following code. This code downloads an excel file from the database which has a macro attached to it when it is opened. This macro reads file name of the excel file and uses it for its computation. Everthing works file if user saves the file on his harddisk and then open if but if he directly opens the file from the dialog(by hitting 'Open' button) then file name of the opened excel file comes out be the name of the webform that has the above code and this leads to error in the macro. Is there any option through which i can control the name of the file if user directly opens the file from dialog or the option to disable or remove 'Open' button form the dialog?

I have VB code that parses XML data from a webpage. Up until 2 days ago the XML data could be viewed right on the page and I could just grab the HTML source code to get the information. Now they have changed the page to a link button to download the XML file.
The problem is that when I click on the XML link I get the 'File Download Prompt' which asks me to run or save the file. I figured I could just save the file to temp directory and then open it up to parse it in my VB app but I can't figure out how to grab the file from the browser in my application.
