Exception Details: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))

ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request identity. ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically {MACHINE}\ASPNET on IIS 5 or Network Service on IIS 6) that is used if the application is not impersonating. If the application is impersonating via , the identity will be the anonymous user (typically IUSR_MACHINENAME) or the authenticated request user.

To grant ASP.NET access to a file, right-click the file in Explorer, choose "Properties" and select the Security tab. Click "Add" to add the appropriate user or group. Highlight the ASP.NET account, and check the boxes for the desired access.

This is the error page.

Answer 1

I had the same problem. I was running a web application using the ASP.NET Development server from Visual Studio and the code where this exception was thrown was using reflection.

It was solved by running Visual studio as an administrator.

Answer 2

Did you try enabling Anonymous access for the site in IIS?

Edit:

The error message clearly says what you need to do.

Use a separate limited account for the site if you want or enable anonymous access for the site in IIS.
