Answer 1

First, check if your method Downloadfile is getting hit. You also did

Response.Write(FullPath);

which kinda ruins your output. I'd rather design it that you redirect to another page which outputs the download.

Answer 2

You're missing a check for postbacks. Your Page_Load should look something like this:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) 
{ 
  if (!Page.IsPostBack)
  {
    BindGrid();
  }
}

When you re-databind the grid, the events are lost.
