Some files are not served off of IIS because they are typically part of the building blocks of the website itself. For ASP.NET these are files like *.cs, *.dll, *.config, *.cshtml, etc.
You can find a list of them tied up in the IIS management setting "Filter requests" here:
But if you need to programmatically access this list, it seems tough to find. Is there a good list of these default extensions?
BTW, the IIS website has info on how to enable / disable these globally here:
http://www.iis.net/configreference/system.webserver/security/requestfiltering/fileextensions
If I'm not mistaken, you'll find them in the root web.config
of the machine:
%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\framework_version\CONFIG
Which is also where you'll find the machine.config
file.
e.g.
<add path="*.ascx" verb="*" type="System.Web.HttpForbiddenHandler" validate="True" />
REF:
As to how you'd programmatically get to it - I haven't tried. The IIS_USRS built-in group has access to it and this doc expands on it.
Hth...
Here's the list I build out of the IIS UI since I couldn't find it anywhere. Hope you find it helpful.
