.msg file gives download error
Found on ASP.NET forum.
Create a handler, download it as a file:
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-outlook";Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=Message.msg");Response.TransmitFile(Server.MapPath(YourPathToMsgFile));Response.End();or change the setting in IIS 6.0:
Select HTTP Header -> click MIME types - > Click New and add ".msg" as extension and "application/vnd.ms-outlook" as MIME type.
using this tag below we can directly mention the file name to the tag.
<a href="Your File_Location">Download Link</a>no need to specify the code in the controller.
just add below tag to web.config inside
<staticContent> <mimeMap fileExtension=".msg" mimeType="application/octet-stream" /></staticContent>
<system.webServer> <staticContent> <mimeMap fileExtension=".msg" mimeType="application/octet-stream" /> </staticContent></system.webServer>
