i need to use SaveFileDialog in asp.net to save TextFile in Client PC. how can i do that ? i don't want to upload to server then download. i need to save in Client Pc Directly . Is there an alternative Control in asp.net

You could use Silverlight or Flash. However, in a web browser, it is NOT possible to run C#/ASP.NET code directly on the client. Keep in mind that your ASP.NET code runs on the server, not the client. The only way to save a file to the client PC would be to either use Silverlight/Flash (which both have equivalent controls), or require the client to download the file from the server.
