  The technique is to open a new window or iframe with a reference to the file to download.  This is a very common situation and well documented with a Google search.

  Hi Robert,

  In your ajax request in success block you have to write this code: 

  $.ajax({
      type: "POST",
      url:'/Home/Download',
      data: { option_id: 2 },
      //dataType: 'json', encode: true,
      async: false,
      cache: false,
      success: function (data, status, jqXHR) {
          window.location = '/Home/Download?option_id=2';
      },
      error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
          if (typeof (console) != 'undefined') {
              alert("oooppss");
          } else {
              alert("something went wrong");
          }
      }
  });

  Hopefully, you got that you have to set your option id value globally and declare it in success section.

  Please don't forget to mark as answer if it helps you. Thanks!
