What's the most elegant workaround for the lack of DefaultFileName in SaveFileDialog in Silverlight?

Question

The SaveFileDialog in Silverlight lacks a DefaultFileName property, resulting in the user having to enter the file name manually with every file download from a Silverlight application.

This is very annoying and there's a lot of criticism about this, see the Silverlight forum.

My question is: what is the most elegant way to get around this?

Answer 1

Prepare the download and let aspx handle the download for you:
