Response.TransmitFile followed by Response.Redirect

[inner]

Hi. I'm having trouble getting my ASP.NET page to work correctly. I would like to know if this is possible and if so, how do I do it.

When the user clicks a link, it should download a file (using either Response.TransmitFile or Response.BinaryWrite). It should also refresh the page or at least be able to redirect to another page, making it appear that the page has refreshed. Is this possible?

Here is the code:

Response.ContentType = GetContentType(filename);
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + filename);
Response.TransmitFile(fullFilename);

// Go to the document page
if (Request.QueryString["rtd"] != null)
{
Response.Redirect("/Document.aspx?documentID=" + Request.QueryString["documentID"]);
}

Looking at it, I know it won't redirect due to the fact that I'm setting the content type and a custom header. I think what I'm really looking for is an alternative way of doing this.

I need the document to open while simultaneously refreshing the page the user is on.
