Hi,

I have tried below in we.config

C#

<location path="Views">
  <system.webServer>
    <directoryBrowse enabled="false" />
  </system.webServer>
</location>

But it's still showing me directory lists.

Please help. Thanks in advance

Solution 1

If the IIS version is 7+ it should work as per the configuration already done in web config.
In case IIS 6 , try it in IIS Manager like

Run > inetmgr

go to Navigation in IIS Manager

Features View > Directory Browsing

Actions Pane > click Enable/Disable

I am new to .Net. This is what I have understood from that.
Please rectify, if I commit any error.
