Is it possible to implement "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" header in asp.net

From enable-cors.org:

CORS on ASP.NET

If you don't have access to configure IIS, you can still add the header through ASP.NET by adding the following line to your source pages:

Response.AppendHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");

+1 Thanks, But I need to add this header only for resource files e.g. css & js files
I have some js files which are frequently updated and i want to use them on other domain, but they wont work coz cross domain policy
Anyways I'll add this to whole site
How do you add it to the resource files?
At me, in the current version of c#, the accepted syntax was Response.Headers.Add("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");

Another option is to add it on the web.config directly:

<system.webServer>
    <httpProtocol>
      <customHeaders>
        <add name="Access-Control-Allow-Origin" value="http://www.yourSite.com" />
        <add name="Access-Control-Allow-Methods" value="GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS"/>
        <add name="Access-Control-Allow-Headers" value="Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept" />
      </customHeaders>
    </httpProtocol>

... I found this in here

Is there a reason setting the value to a URL instead of a * doesn't work with json calls?

1.Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Cors

2 . Add this code in WebApiConfig.cs.

public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
{
    // Web API configuration and services

    // Web API routes

    config.EnableCors();

    config.MapHttpAttributeRoutes();

    config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
        name: "DefaultApi",
        routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
        defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
    );
}

3. Add this

using System.Web.Http.Cors; 

4. Add this code in Api Controller (HomeController.cs)

[EnableCors(origins: "*", headers: "*", methods: "*")]
public class HomeController : ApiController
{
    [HttpGet]
    [Route("api/Home/test")]
    public string test()
    {
       return "";
    }
}

this code allows CORS on specific action method and not a js file

You would need an HTTP module that looked at the requested resource and if it was a css or js, it would tack on the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header with the requestors URL, unless you want it wide open with '*'.

Configuring the CORS response headers on the server wasn't really an option. You should configure a proxy in client side.

Sample to Angular - So, I created a proxy.conf.json file to act as a proxy server. Below is my proxy.conf.json file:

{
  "/api": {
    "target": "http://localhost:49389",
    "secure": true,
    "pathRewrite": {
      "^/api": "/api"
    },
    "changeOrigin": true
  }
}

Put the file in the same directory the package.json then I modified the start command in the package.json file like below

"start": "ng serve --proxy-config proxy.conf.json"

now, the http call from the app component is as follows:

return this.http.get('/api/customers').map((res: Response) => res.json());

Lastly to run use npm start or ng serve --proxy-config proxy.conf.json
