  dll files hosted in IIS can not be accessed

  Jun 30, 2010 12:21 PM|LINK

  Hi experts,

  I configured my new IIS server and hosted an asp.net site.I have some dll files in my website's folder and the users do a download of these dll files at sometime.The problem is , the dll files can not be downloaded via a browser.The directory listing shows all the dlls but when i click to download it, browser says "The page cannot be displayed".I have added mime type in iis for dll files.

  Any idea?

  Thanks in advance for your reply

  Hi sobinscott,

  Add the following code to your dowload button/link click in C# code.

  FileInfo fileInfo = new FileInfo("filename_of_the_dll");
                  Response.Clear();
                  Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=" + fileInfo.Name);
                  Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", fileInfo.Length.ToString());
                  Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream";
                  Response.Flush();
                  Response.WriteFile(fileInfo.FullName);
                  Response.End();

  When I added the application/octet-stream MIME type in iis issue was solved.

  Thank you
