I am trying to create new file in visual studio 2012
fileStream = new FileStream("google_com.txt", FileMode.CreateNew);
But i keep getting this error
Access to the path 'C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS Express\google_com.txt' is denied.
Plz help to fix this poblem.
Run Visual Studio as Administrator
You can't write to the Program Files folders on Windows Vista or later unless you're running elevated/as an administrator.
You should be writing to the application's App_Data folder if you need to write anywhere. Look into using Server.MapPath().
If this is in a web app, the file will be created in the application's root, which in this case is your iis express directory. Run Visual Studio as Administrator, or change the location of the file by specifying an explicit path.
Official Microsoft response:
Issue occurs because of missing permissions on a local resource that
the ASP.NET application tries to access If you are unable to get a
clear description of the problem because of a custom error message,
run FileMon and reproduce the problem. Stop and save the capture as
FileMon.xls and open the file in Microsoft Excel. On the Data menu,
click Filter, and then click AutoFilter to use the filtering
capabilities of Excel. Now select the drop-down list in column F and
look for "ACCESS DENIED" errors.
A sample FileMon output is shown below. 10381 1:01:11 PM w3wp.exe:2320
OPEN C:\winnt\microsoft.net\framework\v1.1.4322\Temporary ASP.NET
Files\sessiontest\8832e585\275ec327\global.asax.xml ACCESS DENIED NT
AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE As you can see from the filtered results,
we have narrowed down the cause of the problem. FileMon shows that the
NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE account is missing NTFS permissions on
the C:\Winnt\Microsoft.net\Framework\v1.1.4322\Temporary ASP.NET Files
folder. This should be straight forward to fix. For more information
