how to open downloaded excel file when complete download in asp .net

We have a web server, which allows the user to download files (excel), which are dynamically-generated We'd like when a download has completed then it should automatically open client side in the excel.

is there any way to do so by asp.net code or jquery code or javascript code?

Nope. You can't tell the client-side how to handle downloaded files.

Imagine the security issues that would cause.
"you just (accidentally?) downloaded someShiftyFile.pdf.exe, now we MAKE your pc run it!"

Possibilities like that would make virus coders very happy.
