    Download file in ASP.NET MVC

    28-12-2015 17:12:31 C# / ASP.NET MVC 0 Bookmark(s) 250 View(s)

     

    
public FileResult DownloadFile()
{
    return File("~/Content/lazzycoder.pdf", "application/pdf", "lazzycoder.pdf");
}
<p>
If you provide the third parameter (file name), ASP.NET MVC adds Content-Disposition: attachment; to the response. This forces the browser to download the file, instead of showing it inline (e.g. PDFs).</p>
