Download File using Sliverlight

This is purely sliver light question, how to download the file in the web server. On button click, I just need to download the file with "Save as/Open/Cancel" options. I do not want to open another hyperlink/server page. I am using sliverlight 4.0 version.

You can look at the following MSDN doc: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.controls.savefiledialog.showdialog%28v=VS.95%29.aspx

You can't if you are running the Silverlight application from a web page. You could if you run the Silverlight application with the "out of the browser" setting. I tried it this week; however, I refused to convert my browser-based application in an "out of the browser" one.

I am writing a WCF service - a standard .NET library (dll) which will do the job for me. I tried a Silverlight WCF, but it fails as well, for Silverlight does not clearance to write to the file system. Once I am done with my new standard WCF service, I can give you a copy of the dll and source code.

Can you save the file to the isolated storage?
