c# - Create text file and download

Question

I'm trying to write to a text file in memory and then download that file without saving the file to the hard disk. I'm using the StringWriter to write the contents:

StringWriter oStringWriter = new StringWriter();
oStringWriter.Write("This is the content");

How do I then download this file?

EDIT: It was combination of answers which gave me my solution. Here it is:

StringWriter oStringWriter = new StringWriter();
oStringWriter.WriteLine("Line 1");
Response.ContentType = "text/plain";

Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=" + string.Format("members-{0}.csv",string.Format("{0:ddMMyyyy}",DateTime.Today)));
Response.Clear();

using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(Response.OutputStream, Encoding.UTF8))
{
    writer.Write(oStringWriter.ToString());
}
Response.End();

This solved for me:

        MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
        TextWriter tw = new StreamWriter(ms);
        tw.WriteLine("Line 1");
        tw.WriteLine("Line 2");
        tw.WriteLine("Line 3");
        tw.Flush();
        byte[] bytes = ms.ToArray();
        ms.Close();

        Response.Clear();
        Response.ContentType = "application/force-download";
        Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;    filename=file.txt");
        Response.BinaryWrite(bytes);
        Response.End();
