I did stumbled upon this 'Use Double quotes so documents with comma in the filename is ok in Chrome Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=""" + myfile.Filnavn & "")

Maybe double quotes is necessary for Chrome

You cannot reliably, cross-browser, push a file to the client and then redirect in one HTTP response.

Just create a landing page that shows what you want to show, and let that page (redirect to the) download.

Use this code

Response.ClearContent();
Response.Clear();
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + fileName);
Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", file.Length.ToString());
Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream";
