Save Local File Path As String And Open File From Saved String?
Jan 29, 2011
I have a form where users can store some data for archived documents. All documents are ONLY in PDF format.
There are 2 things I would like to do:
1. there is a "file path" text box on the form. I would like to open a "browse file dialog" box when user clicks the textbox and then the user browses for the file (file is on the users local machine) and selects it. The full file path should be saved to the textbox as string (e.g. "c:archive2010document11122011.pdf"). Also I would like to "limit" the file browser dialog to only show PDF format files...
2. add a code behind command to open the file from the saved path+name (see 1.) in the user's default PDF viewer (Acrobat or Foxit)
I am trying to display a local .html file in a web page. The file uses javascript to display some information about my phone. In the executable, I am retrieving two values out of the registry. I would like to pass these values in a query string (I think that is the correct terminology). Something like file://\Program Files\TestTest.html?type=newtype. I have attempted this with using webbrowser.navigate, but that is giving an unhandled exception when it tries to pass the URI string. Obviously, I have no experience with this and am using the wrong method. There has to be a simple way to open a new webpage in a form and pass it this type of string.
how to implement such a function? I have been attempting to implement this with Visual C# using the .net CF for Windows Mobile.
I am trying to write a page to read the Excel file provided by the user. I know I can't use the FileUpload to get the full path of the file from the client PC. This give me the problem when I write the connection string for the Excel file:
[Code]....
Without the full path, I can't replace the Data Source by a variable and I definitely can't assume all users will have their Excel files named Book1.xls located in C:Doc all the time.
In our application, we allow user to upload documents which can be PDF, Doc, XLS, TXT. Uploaded documents will be saved on web server. We need to display link for each document user uploaded and when user click on that link, it should open relevant document. it is expected to have required software to open relevant documents.
To upload document, we use saveAs method of FileUpload control and it works absolutely fine.Now, how to view it?I believe, i need to copy/download file to local user machine and need to open it using Process.Start.For that i need to find user local temp directory. if i put path.GetTempPath(), it gives me web server directory and copy file there.
the file is being saved on the server & needs to be same on the local system too so used the above code but the actual size is nt being saved on the local system if the file size on server is 3 MB in local system i gets saved in kbs
I have a file uploader I would like to be able to have a folder added to the folder path on upload based on a textbox.text "MapPath("~/Uploads/" + Path.GetFileName(e.filename))"
I have Dim folder as String = textbox.text how do I add folder to MapPath("~/Uploads/"
it currently checks for .xml files how can I add more .doc .gif etc
Dim savePath As String = MapPath("~/Uploads/" + Path.GetFileName(e.filename)) 'Validation for file extension If Path.GetExtension(e.filename).Contains(".xml") Then Return End If
fileName is the name of the file ending with the file extension (.pgn). However, the file is saved as a .txt file, ignoring the extension that I am giving it. Would this have to do with the Response.Contenttype = "text/plain"? How can I get the Open/Save dialog to display and save the correct (.pgn) filename?
Also, if filename is a string separated by dashes or spaces, when the Open/Save dialog comes up, the filename is not displayed in its entirety but it is truncated where the first dash (-) or space (or comma) is encountered. How can this be remedied?
I'm using ASP.NET with MVC 2 and have trouble translating a local file url to a server address. It would seem like a fairly simple and common task, but google searches gives me no good answers. (Perhaps i suck at searching)
I have a controller that takes a file from a html form in a view and saves it to disk. I need to return the real url of this file back to the View. Whatever method i use, I always get a string with the local path of the file instead of the http path.
I suspect the url might get translated to http address once the project has been deployed, but I really need the server address when debugging without having to hardcode anything.
Consider the following example in some controller method:
string url = Url.RequestContext.HttpContext.Server.MapPath("~/Content/Files/" + Path.GetFileName(file.FileName)); // outputs: "C:\Users\xxx\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\[ProjectName]\Content\Files\file.png" // whereas i'd like something like "http://localhost/Content/Files/file.png" instead
I'm venturing into the world of Microsoft Reporting Services for the first time. So far it's gone pretty well, but I do have a couple of questions. The biggest one is, can I get the ReportViewer to use a relative path to my .rdlc file instead of the full path name that it seems insistent on using? When I'm developing locally oh my desktop, my filepath is c:inetputwwwrootcascadewritingwritingresults.rdlc; however, when I move this to production the filepath will become :websitecascadewritingwritingresults.rdlc. The .aspx page that my ReportViewer is embedded in resides in the same directory as the .rdlc file itself, so I was hoping I could just simply chop off the path altogether and reference the file name, but when I do ReportViewer fusses at me and says it can't find the file.
An error occurred during local report processing.
The report definition for report 'c:inetpubwwwrootCascadeWritingResults.rdlc' has not been specified
Could not find file 'c:inetpubwwwrootCascadeWritingResults.rdlc'.
In case you need/want to see it, my code for the ReportViewer is below:
I am using asp.net 4.0 with C#. I have a webpage which shows a tabular list and upon clicking any one of it, the path of the swf file is queried to the access database and then the file needs to be played on the same webpage.
i have place some .txt files in my web application root directory. now i want to open a popup on button click with save button so that client can save this file on his/her PC. also can we auto set the path??? mean client jst press save button and file automatically stored his "D:\Foldersample.txt".
i am using a sample code to save the data from the text boxes to a text file and i am saving it in to a directory. This one i hard coded to save the text file. Now i need to save it in a particular directory that user sets. Like i will opt him an option like preferences in menu there he can set a path to save his file and i would like to save the files in that path he created. And also if he changes the directory i would like to move all the files to that drive he opted. [URL]
I have written the below code which will open the .pdf file from the silverligt path.as below:
Code: Uri uri = new Uri(HtmlPage.Document.DocumentUri, "/ClientBin/10c.pdf"); string path = uri.AbsoluteUri.ToString(); HtmlPage.Window.Eval("window.open('" + path + "')"); //HtmlPage.Window.Eval("document.location.href='" + path + "';");
I want to open the .pdf file kept in the root directory of the application, (note - do not hard code)ex: i want to open the .pdf file kept in the below location: C:WebsSLLoadHelp.
how can we save the uploaded file path in to database and then retrieve it in gridview as a link so when user click on that it will open that file in browser.
am a newbie to programming so please bare with me!I introduced a file upload control on one of my pages. There is a button click event for the upload which triggers not only the upload but also an insert into a table in my database.Every aspect of the button click event for this upload is working as expected; however I do have a couple of queries because the results are not quite as I would like them. I am using asp.net 3.5 and C# in code behind page.
I have a simple table with 3 columns in my database: Username, PhotoTitle and PhotoUrl. In the button click event I grab the PhotoUrl like such -string photoUrl = FileUpload1.PostedFile.Filename; (I am using the photo url from my images folder in the application to show photos in Gridviews etc. I prefer this to storing the actual image in the database for the moment until i am a bit more experienced since i don't know much about varbinary dbtype.). When the button is clicked for the upload, the details of the photo are saved in the database table, but it's the full path of the file on my laptop which is store (C:/Documents/.../filename.jpg) opposed to "Filename.jpg" for example, which i obviously would prefer because in the application photos are displayed using the"~/images/Filename.jpg" path. How can I save the file name with the extension alone in my table (without the full path)?
The second problem is basically regarding the actual photos being uploaded. They are"saved as" inside folder for the solution as anticipated, but only on the laptop harddrive, which means that I have to manually drag each photo uploaded into the images folder within Solution Explorer, from a Windows Explorer window, in order to be able to display them in Gridviews etc (with the "~/images/Filename.jpg" call in the .aspx code). This is not acceptable of course since the site users would expect to see their photo after the upload, and they would not be able to drag the file into the ~/images/ folder. How can I get round this second slight problem; i.e. is there a way to upload photos directly in the folder so that they show directly on the solution explorer?I hope my explanations of those two little problems I have didn't confuse you all?
I am running Windows Server 2008 Datacenter, ASP.NET 4, IIS 7 and getting the error :Access to the path <path> is denied when using the FileUpload control to save the uploaded file to this directory.I have given the directory in question full access to Network Service but that makes no difference.I have even given the directory full access to Everyone but it still gives the same error.Totally baffled by it
So when the user click the link he is prompted wiht a Message box saying:
Open Save
The user click Open...modify the excel cells... but when he wants Save the file (from Excel menu) is saved on a temporary folder on the client pc and not on the server.
Is it possible to save the file directly on the server or not?
Ps. The "real" problem might be that when the user click "Open" in the prompt tha file is first downloaded in the temp folder and then presented to the user
I have created a CSV file on the server and want to send it to the user using the following code:
Dim strPhysicalPath As String strPhysicalPath = Server.MapPath( "CSV/" & PathVirtual) Dim objFileInfo As System.IO.FileInfo = New System.IO.FileInfo(strPhysicalPath) Response.Clear() Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel" Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" & objFileInfo.Name) Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", objFileInfo.Length.ToString()) Response.WriteFile(strPhysicalPath) Response.Flush() Response.End()
This seems to work fine except when the downloaded file is viewed in Excell the html code behind the page from which it came is also appended to the file. Does anyone have any idea why it does this?
I want to save three images path in table also upload images in folder,how it is possible?[Using ajax file upload control]table columns are imagepath1,imagepath2,imagepath3. URL....
