Unblock File from within .net 4 c#
Based on your input I have done the following code:
public class FileUnblocker {
[DllImport("kernel32", CharSet = CharSet.Unicode, SetLastError = true)]
[return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)]
private static extern bool DeleteFile(string name);
public bool Unblock(string fileName) {
return DeleteFile(fileName + ":Zone.Identifier");
}
}
Thanks to Stuart Dunkeld, Alex K(+1) and Sven to show me the direction.
UPDATE I have posted the code here for a feedback if it would work reliable in production environment. If someone want to use it, check out there.
It's stored in the :Zone.Identifier
stream (more < c:\theapp.exe:Zone.Identifier
) you need to use the native IO routines to manipulate them, here is a managed wrapper.
The official way to manage this identifier is with the PersistentZoneIdentifier COM object: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537029(v=vs.85).aspx
