hi I use

	Response.ClearContent();
//			Response.ClearHeaders();
//			Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
//			Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename="+ reportName);
//			Response.WriteFile(reportPath + reportName);
//			Response.Flush();
//			Response.Close();

in saving a file for some reason I do not want to use it anymore is there anyway to ask the user where he or she wants to save her file??

Yes!

With a SaveFileDialog
Just add a SaveFileDialog from the toolbox and insert the following code.

example:

private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
	 Stream myStream;
	 SaveFileDialog saveFileDialog1 = new SaveFileDialog();

	 saveFileDialog1.Filter = "txt files (*.txt)|*.txt|All files (*.*)|*.*";
	 saveFileDialog1.FilterIndex = 2;
	 saveFileDialog1.RestoreDirectory = true;

	 if(saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
	 {
		 if((myStream = saveFileDialog1.OpenFile()) != null)
		 {
			 // Code to write the stream goes here.
			 myStream.Close();
		 }
	 }
}

edit: i made it a bit cleaner and added it into a buttonclick event
hope this helps

I already tried before I ask if it will work, cause it doesnt work for me some of variable are not detected maybe some need to be declared

btw it is said in the error that im missing an assembly reference I dont if the error only rises in 2003 because it not that complete compare to 2005 and 2008

[b.ihde]

Did you added the System.IO namespace?

using System.IO;

I'm getting a error with ihde's code:
Error 3 The type or namespace name 'SaveFileDialog' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

This is a C# web application.

I don't see a SaveFileDialog item in the toolbox but when I right click it and select 'choose items' it is selected so maybe it's just not available for web applications??

Anyway around this?
