title: How to open new window with streamed document in ASP.NET Web Forms
body: <p>I have an ASP.NET Web Forms application. I want to have a button to post back to the server that will use my fields on my form (after validation) as parameters to a server process that will generate a document and stream it back to the browser. I want the form to be updated with some status results.</p>
  
  <p>What is the best way to achieve this? Right now, I've got the button click generating the document and streaming it back to the browser (it's a Word document and the dialog pops up, and the Word document can be opened successfully) but the page doesn't get updated.</p>
  
  <p>I have jQuery in my solution, so using js isn't an issue if that is required.</p>
