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 have a virtual directory setup in IIS6. This maps to a shared network drive.
I can correctly map the path using
string mappedPath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(path);
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.?
I have image files stored in "VS_ProjectResourcesImages".
When I use the following code:
String str = Server.MapPath("a.png");
str becomes "VS_Projecta.png".
Why isn't it returning the full path?
I have a web application that uses Server.MapPath to specify the exact physical path of as part of upload image.
For example if I do Server.MapPath("/")
I get this:
\boswinfs04homeusersweb2676username
I was expecting something like this:
d:folder
I need to use Server.MapPath not only for image upload but several other uses.
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?
View 1 RepliesIn our code, we have to give the users a list of printers to choose from. The user then chooses a printer and it is checked to verify it is valid before printing. On a windows 2003 server with IIS 6, this works fine. On a windows 2008 server with IIS 7, it fails each time impersonate is set to true.
PrinterSettings printerSetting = new PrinterSettings();
printerSetting.PrinterName = ddlPrinterName.SelectedItem.Text;
if (!printerSetting.IsValid)
{
lblMsg.Text = "Server Printer is not valid.";
}
else
{
lblMsg.Text = "Success";
}
Each time this code is run, the "Server Printer is not valid" displays, only if impersonate is set to true. If impersonate is set to false, the success message is displayed. The impersonation user has full rights to the printer. Is there a way to catch the actual reason the printer is not valid? Is there some other 2008 setting I should check? update I found that IsValid fails when the IIS7 application pools has "Enable 32-bit applications" is checked. This must be checked b/c we are using a 3rd party tool to print with, and it is a 32-bit application. It is not currently part of this test, so right now it is not causing this error.
I'm lost as to where to look next. Here is a sample of what I'm doing:
[Code].... The related tableadapter insert statement was autogenerated by VS2008:
INSERT INTO [ProductCycleCountItem] ([ProductCycleCountLocationID], [ProductID], [CountOnly], [Status]) VALUES (@ProductCycleCountLocationID, @ProductID, @CountOnly, @Status);
SELECT id, ProductCycleCountLocationID, ProductID, CountOnly, Status FROM ProductCycleCountItem WHERE (id = SCOPE_IDENTITY())
With multiple users it's as if it was returning @@IDENTITY instead of SCOPE_IDENTITY(). The table will look like this:
id Location product
1 A 5321
2 A 8273
3 B 2827
4 A 1743
The returned dataset will look like this:
id Location Product
1 A 5321
2 A 8273
3 A 1743
Is it maybe a SQL Server (2005) setting that's incorrect?
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'm having a bit of trouble loading an XML file with ASP. This is the location of the XML file (it's a UNC url):

xml.async = False
xml.load (Server.MapPath("\ilife104 eamdiskSharedIntegrationSystemdevDataprcImportFactSetFeedsfileList.xml"))

I am working with a sql server database with about 50 stored procedures. The database and stored procedureswere not created by me. The stored procedures all begin with a number in their name.
Example: 17P_Comsetter
The problem I am having is that if I try and execute the stored procedure at the command line in Query Analyzer,the query analyzer appears not to like that the stored procedure begins with a number. For example:
If I try an run the stored procedure as follows:
EXEC 17P_Comsetter
Then I get the following error message:
Msg 102, ..... Incorrect Syntax near '17'
I am using SQL server 2005. Does anyone know why I am getting this error message?
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?
View 2 RepliesWhere does httpcontext.current.server.mappath start?
I don't get it... it doesn't return a path.
My webservice is ran when I debug my application :S.
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?
This is what I have right now for a file residing on the same server and it works.

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
}

View 1 RepliesI have an application where I export some crystal reports to a shared folder like:

My question is: I looks it uses the machine account to access this folder like:
domainvgiwpw03-xxx$ (name of the server is vgiwpw03-xxx2).
Is there a way to programmatically specify which account to use accessing the shared folder? We do not like to use machine accounts as this may change if we switch servers etc.
