Downloading ZIP file has ASPX extension in File Download POPUP

[kenpogi]

I'm trying to download a word document into a ZIP file. Basically, the page appears as a page.aspx window. When I try and force the download (forcing the file name to be .zip), the download still specifies a .aspx to be saved. What can I do to force a .zip to be downloaded (especially in the Pop up of the file download where it asks you to Open/Save/Cancel)

thanks a lot in advance

hey ppl

i got it to work using the ff code:

Dim strFileNamePath As String

strFileNamePath = System.IO.Path.GetFullPath(fileName)
Dim myFile As System.IO.FileInfo = New System.IO.FileInfo(strFileNamePath)

HttpContext.Current.Response.Clear()

HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" & _
Replace(myFile.Name, ".resources", ""))

HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", myFile.Length.ToString())

If type <> "" Then
HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = type
Else
HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream"
End If

HttpContext.Current.Response.WriteFile(myFile.FullName)
HttpContext.Current.Response.Flush()

however, when deployed in the web server (windows 2003), it seems that the downloaded file (zip file) doesn't contain anything. although when i tested it in my local machine (XP), the code works fine.
