I am using selenium application to download an excel file from web. The file is downloaded in read only format, that is it doesn't gets saved after downloading. But once it downloads before opening the excel throws a security warning in which it has 2 buttons-enable and disable. Since I am coding in c#, I want c# to handle that window.

That is I want c# to click on "Enable" button of that excel sheet. Is it possible?? Any comments would be really appreciated..

thanks.

Hi,
From where you are downloading the Excel file.
if my guess is for example from gridview your exporting data to excel then try like this.

C#

this.GridView1.Page.EnableViewState = false;
        StringWriter tw = new StringWriter();
        HtmlTextWriter hw = new HtmlTextWriter(tw);
        hw.WriteLine("<font size="3"> Test</font>");
        this.GridView1.RenderControl(hw);
        string HtmlInfo = tw.ToString();
        string DocFileName = "Report" + ".xls";
        string FilePathName = Request.PhysicalPath;
        FilePathName = FilePathName.Substring(0, FilePathName.LastIndexOf("\\"));
        FilePathName = @"C:\Excel" + "\\" + DocFileName;
          var fileInfo = new FileInfo(FilePathName );
           fileInfo.IsReadOnly = false;
        FileStream Fs = new FileStream(FilePathName, FileMode.Create);
        BinaryWriter BWriter = new BinaryWriter(Fs,System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("UTF-8"));
        BWriter.Write(HtmlInfo);
        BWriter.Close();
        Fs.Close();
