Create Content Disposition and add it to your response header

var cd = new System.Net.Mime.ContentDisposition
{
    // for example foo.bak
    FileName = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(fileName),
    // always prompt the user for downloading, set to true if you want 
    // the browser to try to show the file inline
    Inline = false,
};
Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", cd.ToString());
