Configuration :: How To Read Write Folder Contents Outside Project Folder
May 15, 2010
We store backup archives in subfolders of a folder on one of the server's external USB drive. I would like to have an ASP.NET app read the contents of this folder so the manager can view the backup files to confirm backups are working and optionally delete these backup files when an old drive is reconnected so it can be used for the next weeks backups.
This backup folder is oubviously outside the server's webroot. Is there some way I can grant authority so the ASP.Net app can access this folder for this purpose? I would be using VS Web Express, so can't create any signed packages and such.
I know you can add an existing item(s), but is there a way to add an Existing folder (and contents) to a project? It sucks without this option. I need to add a folder that has many folders and a lot of content.
Im trying out the Hudson Continuous Integration. After the build is executed i want to copy the content of the ReleaseBuild to another website on the server.This should be possible i guess but i cant seem figure it out.I know this can be done in nAnt and msbuild but i need to make Hudson do it, eg plugin or something.
When I make an asp.net web application and add class libraries to the solution, the website project itself has a folder with the same name/contents as the class library.
Eg I make a web application called Test, add a project which is a class library, to the solution, called testAbc, and then there is a folder at the root of the website project called testAbc with the contents of the class lib.

I read why this happens in a book a while ago but can't quite remember now.
I need to set folder permission programmaticcaly which is in my GoDaddy server. I have nearly 150 folders in my server so I cant change through server settings or IIS settings. I am using web application. My folder may go on increase in future.I have googled a lot of things.
1. Like Access Control List in System.SEcurity namespace
2.System.principl.security...
I cant able to change the file permission but not a directory.
I must allow all the users to write or move a file to the folder which is in read only mode. That should be done programmatically and should be dynamic.
The oddity is, that the same website files, copied and pasted, connection string altered to point to the production/live db, published to the httpdocs folder works fine BUT the same web files, copied and pasted, connection string altered to poin to the dev db, published to the subdomains/dev fodler causes the error below:
------ Build started: Project: AHN, Configuration: Debug Any CPU ------ AHN -> P:Web_DevelopmentxxxDEVinxxx.dll ------ Publish started: Project: xxx, Configuration: Debug Any CPU ------ Connecting to ftp://xxx.co.uk/subdomains/dev/httpdocs... Transformed Web.config using Web.Debug.config into objDebugTransformWebConfig ransformedWeb.config. Copying all files to temporary location below for package/publish: objDebugPackagePackageTmp. Deleting existing files... An error occured trying to enumerate the contents of folder ''. Can't open data connection (425). ========== Build: 1 succeeded or up-to-date, 0 failed, 0 skipped ========== ========== Publish: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped ==========
When I asked the hoster whats going on, he obsiously that its not his fold because the publishing is working for the non-subdomain (dev) site. Moreoever I deleted and recreated the /dev subdomain but the error is the same.
In above link you clearly describe (How to display directory folder structure).
The path only works when the folder insight the project.
When I put folder outside the project it didn't work. What type of changes I need to made to acces the folder outside the poject. & How can I show other details of files which are including in folders Like. Last Modified Created Date, Modified Date etc..
I want to write a sitemap.xml to the root folder of my website automatically every month. Ofcourse I havent given the IIS_IUSRS group full permissions on the root folder of my website or on sitemap.xml
But what permissions should I give to which usergroup on which folder/file in order to have my ASP.NET application update the sitemap.xml from within the asp.net web application?
I'm using a .resx file which have some name and values.. I wanna read the values programatically.. the recource file is inApp_GlobalResources folder of the project..
I'm using Visual Studio 2008.. and C# as Code behind.
I have an ASP.NET website and I want to find the /bin/[Configuration] folder to use an external tool (an exe file). When I use reflection to get calling assemblies location it returns something similar to:
C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFramework\...Temporary ASP.NET Filesa1388a5e\...my.dll
Since each dll has its own directory under the temp ASP.NET Files this fails for me. How can I get the location of the compiled binary folder where the dll's and the .exe is (i.e. bin/) instead of asp.net's temporary cache?
I am trying to add a new database via the App_Data Folder and I receive an error described below.When I attempt to add ANY TYPE OF SQL SERVER DATABASE through the App_Data folder I receive this error "Connections to SQL Server Files (*.mdf) require SQL Server Express 2008 to function properly. Please verify the installation of the component or download from the URl."
I can create a db via SQL Server Mgmt Studio, it connects fine, and I can see tables.
Visual Studio- Server Explorer connects fine to the Database, I can see the tables.
Im running XP SP3 w/ Visual Studio 2010 and SQL Server 2008 R2 Developer. I had previously removed SQL Server Express.
Why cant I access the database within my project, when Im able to connect to this fine within Visual Studio Server Explorer?
I have a large folder (1.5 GB) in my ASP.NET Web Site, called Downloads, which contains media files, graphics, etc. No code that needs to be compiled or even deployed on every build.
I use Web Deployment Projects to compile and deploy. Every time I build the deployment project, the Downloads folder gets included and copied to the output location. This is taking a significant amount of time, because the folder is copied twice.
Is it possible for a webpage to popup a open folder dialog, ask the user to select a folder, then show the contents of that folder in a list(or something) in the webpage. It won't write to the files, only read them. The webpage is hosted remotely.
I want to read the contents of a remote folder(s) but i only know the date part of the folder name, the other part of the folder name is a timestamp that is different everytime. I'm thinking that i need to do something with the last modified/created date attribute to get the correct folder but i am unsure on how to do this.
i want to create a tree view for displaying folder hierarchy
my database about folders is in sql server so there is no option in tree view for sqlserver its just showing the xml database how can i create such structure its similar to windows explorer.
ive been running around in circles trying to figure this one out... lets say i have an images folder, and i want to output the contents of that folder into XML, so i can then bind that to a datasource.
At first I got an error that the user did not have permission to read the config file (web.config). So I gave NETWORK SERVICE and IIS_IUSRS read on the website folders.
But now vistors can not access images and other static content from the Content folder without logging in. Aspx and .ashx content works however static content is redirected to the login page.
Is it possible to generate hyperlinks from the contents of a folder... i.e. parses the folder takes the name of the file makes it a hyperlink (removing the .pdf, .doc. etc). I could have sworn I read something about this once, but I'm not finding it.
I am using the membership provider and am reasonably comfortable that all of my web pages are safe.Some of the pages contain hyperlinks to documents (pdf, xls, etc.) stored in a folder under the root of the web site. I have disabled the ability of users to anonymously list folder contents, but I don't see a way to keep anonymous users from accessing the documents if they know the specific URL for that document. Example; if the document contains a spreadsheet of current sales, I don't want an ex-employee (who captured the URL while working here) to be able to bring up the current document.asswording the documents isn't a good choice because there are hundreds and we'd like to avoid changing them all every time someone leaves, or weekly, or whenever...Is there a way to restrict access to all contents of a web folder to people who have been authenticated?
