I am trying to find a way to allow my user to select the location he would like to save the output file on his system. When developing Windows apps you can use File Dialog boxes. Is there anything similar to this kind of control in ASP.NET? I know you can use the File Field for uploading but haven't found a counter part for downloading. Suggestions on how I might achieve the desired result?
Thanks in advance.

I don't think you can do this. I may be wrong but it seems like a very serious security risk.
What's to stop me or someone malicious from sending myDoom to users who visit my site without them knowing?

After the processing takes place, you can try doing a response.redirect("/files/wordDoc.doc")

and alter the content type which may prompt the user with a "Save" Dialog.

Is there no way though to cause the user to view the same Save As box, for instance when you do a right click,"Target Save As"?

You could use JavaScript to do this:

<script language=javascript>
function save_as(path)
{
 document.execCommand("saveas",path);
}
</script>
<button onclick=save_as("c:\test.txt")>save</button>

HTH,
