It gives the error:
Server.MapPath() error 'ASP 0174 : 80004005'
Invalid Path Character(s)
/ITWeb/Interfaces/je/index.asp, line 9
An invalid '/' or '' was found in the Path parameter for the MapPath method.
What is the difference between those two? If I only want to retrieve the absoluate path to an image on web server, is Server.MapPath safer in any case? I'm using Page.MapPath right now, but it won't work if control was created in WebService since control.Page property become null? Whether Server.MapPath always work?
Does anyone knows why HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath within a server control works when I run the server control but gives and error whilst in Design mode?
I have some code that works fine when I need to delete some image files from a directory on my web server:
Dim ImageURL As String = dsImages.Tables(0).Rows(iImgRow).Item("ImageURL") Dim physicalName = Server.MapPath(ImageURL) oUpload.DeleteFileFromServer(physicalName, iAdid, iImgID)
.but I am running into a problem when a maintenance task running in a separate thread at set intervals determines that files like the above need to be deleted:
Dim ImageURL As String = dsImage.Tables(0).Rows(i - 1).Item("ImageURL") Dim iImgID As Integer = dsImage.Tables(0).Rows(i - 1).Item("ImageId") Dim physicalName As String = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(ImageURL) oUpload.DeleteFileFromServer(physicalName, iAdID, iImgID)
In this latter case, HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(ImageURL) has a value of Nothing.Is there a way to get the full path for this case?
I want to make an oledbconnection for my access database. I want to put the connection string in the web.config but I learned that server.mappath does not work in there. I want to use the server.mappath. Can I put the connection sting in a session variable into the global.asax in the session start?
When my ASP.NET site uses documents (e.g. XML), I normally load the document as follows:
Server.MapPath("~DocumentsMyDocument.xml")
However, I would like to move the Documents folder out of the website folder so that it is now a sibling of the website folder. This will make maintaining the documents considerably easier.
However, rewriting the document load code as follows:
Server.MapPath("../../Documents/MyDocument.xml")
results in a complaint from ASP.NET that it cannot 'exit above the top directory'.
how I can relatively specify the location of a folder outside the website folder? I really don't want to specify absolute paths for the obvious deployment reasons.
in my Global.asax I have a timer and every 24 hours it creates an instance of a class and calls a method to send reminder emails with an attachment. In this method I am getting the current HttpContext and using Server.MapPath to get the path to the attachment, but it is always null. I guess this is because Application_End has been called between the last user accessing the site and the method being called.
As a workaround I am setting the timer interval to 19 minutes but I would rather not call the method 36 times a day when only once is required.
Is there any way, apart from hard coding the path, to ensure the HttpContext is not null?
The layout of my web app is C:inetpubwwwroot<sln folder><web app folder>. So the image folder in my web app would be the previous path images.
When I try to save to my images folder from a FileUpload control and use Server.MapPath, it drops my <sln folder>, so the path is incorrect. How do I fix this? I figured Server.MapPath just moved up the folder until it hit a drive, no?
I then create a DirectoryInfo object as I want to find some files in the directory.
DirectoryInfo updateDirectory = new DirectoryInfo(mappedPath);
But then updateDirectory.Exists is false?? I can take the string from the mappedPath and copy into Start->Run to get to the path so I know it exists. I am authenticating to the webservice using integrated windows authentication and have permissions to the necessary folders.
Is there something obvious I'm missing in the code? Or is this purely set-up and configuration of IIS etc.?
This is what I have right now for a file residing on the same server and it works.
Dim FILENAME as String = Server.MapPath("Output.txt") Dim objStreamWriter as StreamWriter objStreamWriter = File.CreateText(FILENAME) dr = myCommand.ExecuteReader() While dr.Read() objStreamWriter.WriteLine("{0}|{1}|{2:yyyy-MM-dd}|{3:yyyy-MM-dd}", dr(0), dr(1), dr(2), dr(3)) End While objStreamWriter.Close()
I was planning on FTPing the file to another server once done but is there a way to do it on a remote server? i.e create a text file on a remote server and write to it? Did not find any instances of that usage. How to use ServerXMLHTTP to replace Server.MapPath in this instance?
I have had a real nightmare with Server.MapPath(). When I call Server.MapPath("~") in my application that is running in ASP.NET Development Server it returns root directory that ends in a back slash like f:projectsapp1, but I call it in published version, installed in IIS, it returns root directory without any back slash like c:inetpubwwwrootapp1.
string mainRoot = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~"); DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(mainRoot); //added to solve this problem with Server.MapPath if (!mainRoot.EndsWith(@"")) mainRoot += @""; FileInfo[] files = di.GetFiles("*.aspx"); foreach (FileInfo item in files) { string path = item.FullName.Replace(mainRoot, "~/").Replace(@"", "/"); //do more here }
i am trying to create connection using OLEDB connection in my app. but i am not able to create the connection as in datasource i want to use Server.mappath, but cudn't find the right method to use it. i am trying to make connection with Access database file. following is code i have tried:
string path = Server.MapPath("~/uploadaccess/Production.mdb"); string ConnectionString = @"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("~/uploadaccess/Production.mdb")&";"; and also OleDbConnection myConnection = new OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & path&";"); and tried this OleDbConnection myConnection = new OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("~/uploadaccess/Production.mdb"));
and this is the error i am getting:
Operator '&' cannot be applied to operands of type 'string' and 'string'

i am developing online hotel reservation using asp.net. can any one tell me how to accept directly credit cards like this.example this link.http://www.asiahotel.co.th/reservation/credit_bkk.htm.
I was wondering what anyone else thinks of this. We are looking at creating an online form with just creates a simple email and fires it off but we would like to give the user the option of sending an attachment. Does anyone have any thoughts on the risks involved with this from a security standpoint? Is there any special products that .net could use to scan files first? some third party application or control?
I have been having trouble finding much good info from google cause, well... You type the words like "email attachment" "risk" or something like that you get so much back it is out of control.
On adding items in it ,shows an error: "Dropdownlist does not allow multiple selection."But when i tries to print the selected item it shows null exception.
In development, everything works good in all browsers, but when I deploy the app to a server, only Firefox is able to log in (so it's the only one accepting the cookie). In the server, the app runs on the root of the server, there is not virtual path.
EDIT: I've looked at it wit Fiddler, and the server is returning the cookie, no doubt. So the problem is that Chrome and IE are not accepting it.
I'll try to make this concise. Anyways, I'm trying to only allow unique data to my database. my database. What I did before adding the entry is to use a Search Query for the value of the txtbox
"SELECT IDnum WHERE IDnum = '" & txtID & "'"
Then compare it with that of the txtbox.
IF objReader("IDNum") <> txtID.textbox then add the entry Else Display a Warning.
in the above code, I can detect the when the user entered an existing value. however, If the user entered a NEW (unique) value an error is Raised "Invalid attempt to read when no data is present" I hit the wall with this.So what I did, Since I can detect Duplicates and have errors when entering unique value, I used the
ON ERROR GOTO statement: I did it like this.
On Error Goto errHandler
If objReader("IDNum") = txtID.textbox then lbl1.text = "Existing Record" objReader.close() [code]....
The Code does what I need but its kinda long, I bet there is an elegant way to do this.
I have a webservice method which needs to accept SOAP as input parameter. I've worked webservices between .NET clients but I've never worked using raw SOAP so I don't know what to do. The format of the input like this:
