Sending File to User

[ImDaFrEaK]

I have a search box where the user types a key word. Then when returned the all file names from within a specific directory is displayed in a listbox. I want the user to have the option to select one and then download it. I have it working as far as redirecting the web page to the directory with the file in which most cases will ask it to deploy or save or what have you. But if the file is something like an mp3 then the users' mp3 plugin auto plays the song or something. I want to always send the user the file, basically a dialog box type deal that says Save or Cancel.

Thanks, that whole site is useful and in my favorite's folder now. I am trying to learn as much as I can about ASP and the beta ASP AJAX but I am way behind. Any other nice sites or important threads you think might help an ASP newby (but not programming newby) please send em. Thanks again, your awesome.

Hopefully by now you have found http://asp.net.
If you go to that website and click the 'Learn' link on the top menu you'll find many valuable resources including videos, data tutorials, and some quick start tutorials. The videos link includes several videos regarding ASP.NET Ajax.
