Stream file using ASP.NET MVC FileContentResult in a browser with a name?

by 
public ActionResult Index()
{
    byte[] contents = FetchPdfBytes();
    return File(contents, "application/pdf", "test.pdf");
}

and for opening the PDF inside the browser you will need to set the Content-Disposition header:

public ActionResult Index()
{
    byte[] contents = FetchPdfBytes();
    Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=test.pdf");
    return File(contents, "application/pdf");
}
