title: Download file to client PC in ASP.NET using VB.NET
body: <p>I am developing a website that would be accessible only within our organisation.</p>
  
  <p>I want to implement a functionality in which the client will download a file <code>(Visio File *.vsd)</code> from the server and save it to any location.</p>
  
  <p>I came across a solution:</p>
  
  <pre><code>dim wc as new WebClient ()
  
  wc.downloadFile(src,dest)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, this solution doesn't prompt the save as dialog box (<strong>which I want in my application</strong>). Also I should know the path on the client's PC where he has saved the file, so that the path can be saved in a database.</p>
  
  <p>(For reference: I want to implement the functionality similar to <strong>VSS</strong>.)</p>
