Modify the path of the excel file to save to a virtual path as follows

workbook.SaveAs(@"C:\Users\test\Desktop\Test\" + datetime.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy_hh-mm-ss") + ".xls", Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlSaveAsAccessMode.xlExclusive, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);

change this to

workbook.SaveAs(@"~/ExcelFiles/Filename.xlsx" + datetime.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy_hh-mm-ss") + ".xls", Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlSaveAsAccessMode.xlExclusive, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);

Try the following code for displaying save as dialog

String FileName = "FileName.xlsx";
String FilePath = "~/ExcelFiles/FileName.xlsx"; 
System.Web.HttpResponse response = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response;
response.ClearContent();
response.Clear();
response.ContentType = "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet";
response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + FileName + ";");
response.TransmitFile(FilePath);
response.Flush();
response.End();
