When you use the
Response.TransmitFile method to transfer a file to a client computer, the
Response.TransmitFile method creates a file handle and sends it to the Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) Web site. If Microsoft ASP.NET closes the file handle too soon after the
Response.TransmitFile method sends the file handle to the IIS Web site, the file transfer either does not start or does not succeed.
