if you make all pages secured. I mean, allow users to see the pages only after providing the user credentials. If user is not authenticated, show "Access restricted" message.

There's really no way to stop people from saving a page, unless you stop them from seeing it. That's what Navaneeth is saying, but even then, if someone has a login, they can save your site. The only thing you can do, is to try to control how many pages someone can view in a given time, so they can't hammer your server to save a lot of pages in a short time.

You plainly cannot. For me to view a page, you need to send me the HTML. Once I have it, I can save it.

You are talking about software like this[^], which downloads the pages for offline viewing, right? To prevent images and other file types to be served, you can create a
HttpHandler, map the image and other file extensions to ASP.NET engine and tell ASP.NET to process these extensions by the handler you created. In this handler, you can check whether the requested user/program has successfully passed the authentication. If not, prevent the content being send.Navaneeth How to use google | Ask smart questions

I think OP is saying about programs which downloads the pages for offline viewing. Please correct me if I got your post wrong.
