Hi,
Try this:


 string strFileExtName = "1" + ".bat";
                Context.Response.Clear();
                Context.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + strFileExtName + "; size=" + file.Length.ToString());
                //Context.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + strFileExtName);
                Context.Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", file.Length.ToString());
                Context.Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream";
                Context.Response.WriteFile(file.FullName);
                Context.ApplicationInstance.CompleteRequest();
                Context.Response.Flush();
                //Context.Response.Clear();
                Context.Response.End();

Response.Flush method sends buffered output immediately. This method causes a run-time error if Response.Buffer has not been set to TRUE
Be aware that if your IIS server is compressing the output with GZIP, then it will seem to ignore all Response.Flush calls. This is turned on by default in IIS7 and on Windows 7.
And, if you are testing with Fiddler, be sure to turn on "Streaming" mode, or Fiddler will collect the flushed HTML and hold it until the connection is completed.
use 'ClearHeaders' method as given below


    // Makes sure the page does not get cached
    context.Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);

    // Retrieves the PDF
    byte[] PDFContent = BL.PDFGenerator.GetPDF(context.Request.QueryString["DocNumber"]);

    // Send it back to the client
    context.Response.ClearHeaders();
    context.Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
    context.Response.BinaryWrite(PDFContent);
    context.Response.Flush();
    context.Response.End();
