Hi,

My Windows Forms application uses the WebBrowser control to
open an Excel file since OLE objects are gone in .Net. The application
is actualy a clone of the one found in the MS Knowledge Base Article
"How to Use the WebBrowser Control to Open Office Documents with
Visual C# .NET" which can be found here:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;304662

The application does what it's supposed to (ie Loads embeded Excel
and opens the file), the problem is that prior to that it displays a
"File Download" dialog. For personal use i could simply uncheck the
"always ask before opening this type of file" checkbox but for the
the release this is not an option.

I would like to know if it is possible to avoid the "File Download"
dialog.

Thanks in advance for any help.

To Avoid this you'll have to set the mime type of the stream for browser to "application/vnd.ms-excel"
