local file download

[dsoltesz]

I'm trying to download a local file from the server.
Went I get the save dialog box and save the file, its
saving the current aspx page and not the file I
specified. Here is the code I"m using. Any ideas why
this is happening?

Response.ContentType = "application/x-zip-compressed";
System.IO.FileStream downloadFile = new
System.IO.FileStream
(@"C:\\VirtualCafeSourceSafeCode\\Database.zip",
System.IO.FileMode.Open);
long FileSize;
FileSize = downloadFile.Length;
byte[] getContent = new byte[(int)FileSize];
downloadFile.Read(getContent, 0, (int)
downloadFile.Length);
downloadFile.Close();
Response.BinaryWrite(getContent);

Are you sure it's saving an aspx page, or is it saving the zip file with the
same name as the aspx page? The second would be expected.

That would do it.
