        @*<img src="@agreefile" style="height:150px; width:100px" alt=""/>*@
        <object data=@agreefile" type="application/docx" width="300" height="200">
            alt : <a href="@agreefile">test</a>
        </object>
    </div> 
}

Answer 1

The solution would be to have a button that triggers an action on the controller that returns a file. (you need to change the mime type depending on what you are returning)

Something like this:

    public ActionResult GetFile()
    {
            //...
            return File(filePath, "application/pdf", fileDownloadName);
    }
