    I am trying to write an web application using ASP.Net. The objective of my program is to create and save some files for the client. I tried to hard code the path and save it to the client?s C: drive. Of course, that is blocked. However, there has to be some client side control that ASP.Net provides, that should let me do this(I guess this would involve some user interaction to allow saving the files). My code is in C#. Would appreciate help on this.

    I don't think you can do that.

    If web application has the ability to save to a visitor's browser, it will be a major security issue.
