.msg file gives download error
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>
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.
