The simplest code is to create a hyperlink to the file.

string filePath =Server.MapPath(myrow["UploadFile"].ToString());
HttpResponse res = HttpContext.Current.Response;
res.Clear();
res.AppendHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + filePath);
res.ContentType = "application/octet-stream";
res.WriteFile(filePath);
res.Flush();
res.End();

itry this code and work fine but the file language is corrupted ????

If you already store files in your server's host file system, why wouldn't you simply generate an anchor in one of your ASP.NET page?
