Solution 1

Add this line after Response.ContentType.

Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition", "inline; filename=sample.pdf");

or just give the URL path of the pdf like below.

Response.Redirect("www.sample.com/folder/test.pdf"); //In your case path

Try as below code.

C#

string path = Server.MapPath("PDFFileFolder") + @"\MyPDFFile.pdf";
System.Net.WebClient client = new System.Net.WebClient();
Byte[] buffer = client.DownloadData(path);

 if (buffer != null)
 {
   Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
   Response.AddHeader("content-length", buffer.Length.ToString());
   Response.BinaryWrite(buffer);
 }

Since you have updated your Question, your code is now similar to what I proposed. This should open your PDF in browser itself. Make sure Path of your PDF is correct.

Have you tried my code? It does opens up PDF file in the same browser. No point in down voting Solution without trying.

Its really strange. I used the same above code and it opened up in the same web page. Any ways I think as suggested in "Solution1" by Toniyo, you can use Response.Redirect.
