This is the web method definition:

[HttpPost]
public FileResult GenerateReport(string Id) {
     //............Code .................//
 return File(response.ReportContents, "application/pdf");

}

and here is my jQuery ajax call to web method:

$(".ValuationReport").bind('click', function () {
        $.ajax({
            url: "https://localhost.com/Report/GenerateReport
            type: "POST",
            data: { Id: "00AFCA2F-6809-4FF4-BA32-125EAEBB1321" },
            success: function (data) {

            },
            error: function () {
                alert("error");
            }
        });
    });

Please help me.

    Help you with what? You haven't really asked a question (the title is not sufficient). Please explain more clearly what you want to do, and why the code you've quoted doesn't do it. – T.J. Crowder Nov 08 '12 at 10:24

You can't download files using an ajax request.

you havent mentioned the problem you are really facing with your current approach, as it happens you cannot download the file using the XMLHTTPRequest, with your current approach a download dialog should appear as a response to your ajax request because the browser will unable to understand the "application/pdf" ContentType and will try to download the file
