How to create file and return it via FileResult in ASP.NET MVC?

by

EDIT ( If you want the stream try this: )

public FileStreamResult GetFile()
{
    string name = "me.txt";

    FileInfo info = new FileInfo(name);
    if (!info.Exists)
    {
        using (StreamWriter writer = info.CreateText())
        {
            writer.WriteLine("Hello, I am a new text file");

        }
    }

    return File(info.OpenRead(), "text/plain");

}

You could try something like this.. 

public FilePathResult GetFile()
{
    string name = "me.txt";

    FileInfo info = new FileInfo(name);
    if (!info.Exists)
    {
        using (StreamWriter writer = info.CreateText())
        {
            writer.WriteLine("Hello, I am a new text file");

        }
    }

    return File(name, "text/plain");

}
