Dear Friends ,

                    How to disable image downloading in aspx page..for example if i type http://localhost/samplesite/a.jpg.it will not allow to view a image .give your ideas

Put Images under App_Data Folder. This will not allow images to be downloaded. 

If you use Forms authentication, deny the permission for Images folder to anonymous user.

<location path="Images">
 <system.web>
  <authorization>
   <allow roles="Admin"/>
   <allow roles="User"/>
   <deny users="*"/>
  </authorization>
 </system.web>
</location>

Dear chintanpshah,

                In my application i am using form authentication but above code not working in my application .where i go to check .

You can do one thing disable the right-click on mouse and show alert box

Put the following script in the head of your page:

<script language="Javascript">

am = "This function is disabled!";


bV  = parseInt(navigator.appVersion)


bNS = navigator.appName=="Netscape"


bIE = navigator.appName=="Microsoft Internet Explorer"

function nrc(e) {

   if (bNS && e.which > 1){

      alert(am)
      return false

   } else if (bIE && (event.button >1)) {

     alert(am)
     return false;

   }
}


document.onmousedown = nrc;

if (document.layers) window.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);

if (bNS && bV<5) window.onmousedown = nrc;

</script>

Dear asifchouhan,

         if i am directly type image name in browser that time i want to disable images view in browser(http://localhost/sample/a.jpg)

<location path="UserImagesFolder">
    <system.web>
      <authorization>
        <deny users="*"/>
      </authorization>
    </system.web>
  </location>

If you stop disabling image downloading from the site - why have images in the first place. If you want to put images in an application, users can view the images and download by right clicking on the browser.

actually not only for image..i have a log file folder contains *.xml file .i have to stop view that log file if enter addres in browser.example http://localhost/sample/a.xml

Try this to prevent leeching -

In web config -

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<httpHandlers>
<add verb="*" path="*.jpg" type="jpg, jpg"/>
</httpHandlers>
</system.web>
</configuration>

Class -:-

using System;
using System.Web;

public class jpg : IHttpHandler
{
public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
{
string FileName = context.Server.MapPath(context.Request.FilePath);
if (context.Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_REFERER"] == null)
{
context.Response.ContentType = "image/JPEG";
context.Response.WriteFile("/no.jpg");
}
else
{
if (context.Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_REFERER"].IndexOf("mydomain.com") > 0)
{
context.Response.ContentType = "image/JPEG";
context.Response.WriteFile(FileName);
}
else
{
context.Response.ContentType = "image/JPEG";
context.Response.WriteFile("/no.jpg");
}
}
}

public bool IsReusable
{
get
{
return true;
}
}

}

add a web.config file to that folder and place  Manjeetrocks example

What do you mean by prevent donwloading?

1. Disable right click on Image and save image?
2. Type URL in Address bar?
3. Copy from Temporaty Internet files folder?
4. Send Web Request to download the image?

Please let me know what you mean by prevent donwloading from above possibilities(there may be more than these)?
