    Hi @JERONIMO Edevaldo,

    Did you mean that these code work fine in Visual studio, but not working after published the application in IIS? If this is the case, you have to check the authentication configuration in IIS as mentioned by Lex Li, otherwise you will get the error code(401.2):

    User's image User's image

    If I misunderstand anything, please let me know.

    Best regards,
