Error : Internet Explorer cannot download ...

If you see Error message : Internet Explorer cannot download "filename" from "Servername"
Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site.
The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again


Then, this error usually occurs sometime while downloading a document which can be in form of PDF file, Doc file, XLS or text file. There are at least 4 possible reasons which can cause this error. I have also found their solutions. My assumption is - you are running your web site on IIS. [More]

Managing Users and Roles

The following example will demonstrate as how to manage registered users, activate or deactivate them assign or remove role(s) in ASP.Net. My assumption is, you already have a page which allows users to register and now you would like to activate the user and assign a role so that they can login to your web site. I have created two page, which resides in Admin area of web site. You will be required to make some changes such as Master Page File, Namespace, Base Page and Content Place Holder ID etc. in order to properly compile and work with you project. The first page will allow you to search and find one or more registered users and second page will allow you to activate and assign a role.

As a result, files that are larger than this value are not uploaded by default. [More]
