Download a file using JQuery, ajax and c#

Download a file using JQuery, ajax and c#

I have tried many articles on net for downloading a text file using
JQuery, Ajax and C#. Most of them says you cannot download file using
ajax.
Here is my JQuery-Ajax code
$(document).on("click", "#imgDownload", function (event) {
$.ajax({
url: "/members/DownloadSelectedFile?SelectedUserName=" +
$("#AllowedFriends").find(":selected").text() +
"&SelectedFileName=" + $(this).siblings("span").eq(0).text(),
success: function () {
alert("Khushi");
}
});
});
Here is my C# code
public void DownloadSelectedFile(string SelectedUserName, string
SelectedFileName)
{
Response.Clear();
Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream";
Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "Filename=" +
SelectedFileName + ".txt");
Response.TransmitFile(Server.MapPath("~/Users/" +
SelectedUserName + "/" + (string)Session["LoggedInUserName"] +
"/" + SelectedFileName + ".txt"));
Response.End();
}
So, what are the changes that I need to make to be able to download a text
file.
