how to export the text file in mvc?

Question

I generate the text file in my code using the stream writer using mvc format for web application . But my text file not download the my page? my sample code is below:

// file have the all values in stream writerformat

return File(file, "text/plain", "Export.txt");

I assume you already have the file created? and your issue is just how to render or return it to your user upon request? — von v.

try adding this before your return:

var cd = new System.Net.Mime.ContentDisposition
{
    FileName = "Export.txt", 
    Inline = false, 
};
Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", cd.ToString());

return File(file, "text/plain");

You can call a method that will give you your file stream like this:

public FileStreamResult DownloadFile()
{
    //
    // This part is where you build your file
    //
    // file should be a Stream
    return new FileStreamResult(file, "text/plain")
        {
            FileDownloadName = "optional_name_that_you_can_give_your_file"
        };
}

I don't understand, can you rephrase your question? Better yet, update your question with the information you are trying to say to me here, so everybody can see it and learn more what you are trying to do.
