Question: Invoking custom file type (file associated with custom app)

I have a custom file type ("PWA" extension.) It's just a text file with
some text created by the web server.

When my web page redirects to one of these pages I want to auto launch a
local app. (This action similar to PDF files. When I access a PDF file in
IE it opens it automatically in Acrobat.)

I created the file association manually, but when I response.redire ct to the
PWA file it displays it in IE, rather than open it using my custom app.

Any ideas?

You must add a corresponding mime type to the file extension in IIS. For
further details the IIS newsgroup is just the right place to query.

Right now the app is designed to save to a local file however down the road it might be changed to saving to a database.

I've got a custom HttpHandler to process all requests for a given extension. It gets invoked OK, but if I try to do a Server.Transfer I get an HttpException. A Response.Redirect works, but I really need to avoid the extra round-trip to the client. I've tried Passing the page name, the full URL, and the instance of the handler class to the Transfer method, but everything gets me the same error 500. Any help would be appreciated.

It seems that the ASP.NET Microsoft team didn't think about this!! The profilemanager class has the following methods: - DeleteInactiveProfiles. Enables you to delete all profiles older than a specified date. - DeleteProfile. Enables you to delete a profile associated with a specified username. - DeleteProfiles. Enables you to delete a set of profiles. - FindInactiveProfilesByUserName. Returns a collection of ProfileInfo
