IE Save Dialog Security Warning

[Charles Mifsud]

Hi all,

We have an asp.net 2.0 page with a button.
On clicking the button we redirect to another page which downloads a file.

When we deploy on the web server we are gretting a security warning saying that
"Internet Explorer blocked this site from downloading files to your computer. click here for options".

Our code is as follows:

Response.Buffer = false;
Response.BufferOutput = false;
Response.Clear();
Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + filename + "");
Response.ContentType = "application/zip";
Response.WriteFile(filepath);
HttpContext.Current.ApplicationInstance.CompleteRequest();

How can we avoid this security warning and get the save dialog directly?

Any Ideas?

Thanks in advance

Yep.
It's nothing you can do with it in ASP.NET.
It's browser's setting and only browser's user (or network
administrator) can turn it off.

Why when you are downloading something from the microsoft site the warning
comes on the save dialog but the yellow bar with the security warning does
not come?

We would like to remove the yellow bar warning underneath the address bar
saying click here to download.

Thanks in advance
