Access to the path 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\IIS Express\\Excel.xlsx' is denied

Question

I'm working on a ASP.NET MVC 5 project. In this project I want user to download an Excel file using this code :

var workbook = new ExcelFile();
    workbook.Save("Excel.xlsx");

But when I enter the URL to download the Excel file. I get the exception :

Access to the path 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\IIS Express\\Excel.xlsx' is denied.

How can I modify my code so that user can download the Excel file wherever he wants? Instead of IIS Express folder. Thanks.

Answer 1

In my opinion you have two options.

1: Chage the permission of the IIS folder/directory.

2: Save the file to Response an let the user choose per SaveFileDialog(try this: Downloading Excel File )

Answer 2

我知道为时已晚，但为了访问该文件夹，您应该以管理员身份运行 Visual Studio。
