Title Body

I have an ExcelResult action result that returns Microsoft Excel documents, based off the Stephen Walther tip . Basically it just writes a stream out to the Response. When debugging VS 2010 (ASP.NET Dev Server), it runs fine, but when I run it on an IIS 6 box, I get the following error: The view 'GenerateExcel' or its master was not found. The following locations were searched: ~/Views/Home/GenerateExcel.aspx ~/Views/Home/GenerateExcel.ascx ~/Views/Shared/GenerateExcel.aspx ~/Views/Shared/GenerateExcel.ascx There is no associated View, and therefore no file, but there shouldn't have to be. What am I doing wrong? UPDATE By simply returning void instead of an ActionResult, I no longer have this issue. Instead of returning the ExcelResult, I'm explicitly calling it's ExecuteResult method, which is writing to the output stream. Before public ActionResult GenerateExcel() { return this.Excel(parameters); } After public void GenerateExcel() { ExcelResult excelResult = this.Excel(parameters); excelResult.ExecuteResult(null); } After that, I had security issues with my NTLM authentication, but they 'went away' (meaning I expect them to come back). For now, though, everything is working properly.
